Chapter 1401: Donglai Tai Shi Ci

Kong Rong is still very satisfied with the reward given to him by the imperial court this time, after all, it is a position of the third prince and the marquis of the county, and there is also a Marquis of Qufu with extraordinary significance, anyway, the princes of the Five Roads who surrendered to the court before are not treated as well as him.

Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang were forced to surrender, and Wang Lang, Qiao Mao, and Zhang Miao were all annexed and had to come to defect as a last resort.

Kong Rong and the five of them are all in a different situation, so the treatment is naturally different.

Kong Rong not only took the initiative to surrender, but also let the land of Beihai return to the arms of the imperial court, so that the imperial court removed tens of thousands of troops out of thin air, which is not comparable to the above five princes.

Therefore, of course, Qin Hao has to treat Kong Rong well, this is also to set a good example for other princes, if any more princes are destroyed in the future, they can also follow Kong Rong to come to the imperial court.

After receiving the holy decree, Kong Rong was already a little impatient, he wanted to leave Qingzhou with his family and go to Luoyang to be his third duke, so as to get rid of Qingzhou, a place of right and wrong.

Seeing this, Li Jing immediately persuaded Kong Rong to stay longer, although Kong Rong had officially completed the handover with him, he had not completely controlled the Beihai Navy after all.

God knows if the people below will plot to overthrow him, and then forcibly support Kong Rong to ascend to the throne?

Therefore, before Li Jing completely takes charge of the Beihai Navy, it will naturally not be so easy to let him go.

Under the hindrance of Li Jing's kind words, Kong Rong decided to stay for more time after thinking about it again.

Be a man to the end, send the Buddha to the west.

Anyway, Kong Rong has already handed over the military and political power, and after Li Jing completely takes charge of the Beihai Navy, it will not be too late for him to go to Luoyang.

With Kong Rong's personal support, Li Jing took over the Northern Navy regime without any twists and turns.

The civil and military ministers of Beihai are very well-behaved, and they are very respectful to Li Jing, the 'Qincha'.

The next night, Li Jing, who had dealt with the affairs of the day, returned to the room to rest with a tired face, while his wife Yin Shiniang thoughtfully took off her coat for her husband.

"Husband, this Kong Beihai is really interesting, others can't get the power that they can't get all their lives, but he abandons it, what do you think of his brain?"

"Hehe......"

Hearing Mrs. say this, Li Jing couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "Don't underestimate Lord Kong Rong, the minds of these politicians are complicated, and they are far from being as simple as Madam thinks." ”

"Then why did he put it too well? Are you still so eager to leave Qingzhou? ”

"It's not that Master Kong Rong doesn't want to be it, but he can't be it.

Now Qingzhou is a big quagmire, Master Kong Rong has not completely fallen into it, if he continues to stay in the position of Beihai Taishou, he will not only attract death for himself, but even affect his family.

Therefore, Kong Rong came up with such a way to get out, using Beihai County, which he was destined to not keep, in exchange for a new starting point for his career. ”

After listening to Li Jing's words, Yin Shi Niang couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "It turns out that there are so many doorways here, if you don't say it, husband, the concubine will really think about Kong Beihai simply." ”

"Lord Kong Rong is a figure of the same era as King Liang and King Jin, and he is also one of the thirty-six princes of Dong, who can persist from that chaotic era to the present, which one is simple." Li Jing sighed lightly.

Next.

Li Jing asked Ran Min, Jintai and other generals to collect the army, while he took Yin Shiniang, Fu Nian, and Fusu to take inventory of the treasury.

"Lord Qiyu Taishou, there are still 30,000 swords, 50,000 spears, 8,000 leather armor, and 3,000 iron armor in the armory......

There are two large granaries and eight small and medium-sized granaries in Beihai, with 800,000 stone of grain storage......

There are 50 million baht coins, 30,000 taels of gold, and 200,000 taels of silver......

And ......"

After listening to Fusu's report, Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned, and said that the three counties and four countries of Qingzhou were the richest in the North Sea.

I have to say that Kong Rong's family foundation accumulated in Beihai is still very rich, and so many materials and money and food can fully support an army of 50,000 to fight for half a year.

Sitting on such a mountain of gold and silver, Kong Rong not only couldn't keep Beihai, but even didn't hesitate to lead the water to the east, so that Li Jinglai took over from him in charge of Beihai, which shows how unfavorable the situation in Qingzhou is for Beihai.

It took half a day, and after Li Jing figured out the essence of Beihai, he took Yin Shi Niang to the barracks.

"Taishou, the Northern Navy currently has 35,000 soldiers, including 2,000 cavalry, 10,000 archers, and 23,000 sword and shield soldiers." Ran Min reported.

"So much?"

Li Jing looked surprised, he knew that Kong Rong had been defeated repeatedly in the battle with Huang Chao, and it stands to reason that the casualties of the Northern Navy must not be small, and there should not be so many troops.

"In order to resist the invasion of the Yellow Nest, not long ago, Kong Situ conducted another recruitment, and since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, this is the fourth recruitment in Beihai.

Nearly half of the soldiers in the army are new recruits and have insufficient training, so the overall combat strength of the North Navy is very weak. ”

"I see."

Li Jing nodded, this was also something he expected, if the combat power of the Northern Navy was really strong enough to keep Beihai, then Kong Rong would not let him replace him.

"Nearly half of the 35,000 North Navy are new recruits, and this time I only brought 3,000 elite cavalry, that is to say, there are only nearly 20,000 soldiers really available in the North Sea, including 5,000 cavalry......"

Li Jing secretly analyzed in his heart, he knew that as he led the army into the North Sea, Qingzhou would definitely set off a whirlpool, and he was already in the center of the whirlpool.

When Yuan Shao and Huang Chao figured out the details, their army could come over at any time, and the time they could give Li Jing to prepare was getting less and less.

"There is a long way to go, it seems that the alliance with Song Jiang must be accelerated."

As soon as he thought of this, Li Jing immediately said to Fu Nian: "Mr. Fu Nian, you take the canonization edict of the imperial court and immediately go to Liangshan.

Now the situation in Liangshan is similar to ours in Beihai, and only by uniting between the two weak can we survive, and I believe that Liangshan should think the same way. ”

"No." Fu Nian Zhengsedao, then decisively turned around and left.

After Fu Nian left, Li Jing asked Ran Min again: "General Ran Min, how is the military power taking over?" ”

"It's going well, but after all, we are outsiders, and many soldiers are not very convinced.

However, this is not a big problem, and strength has always been respected in the military.

The last general has already set up the competition ring, since they are not convinced, then we will fight until they are convinced. ”

"Hmm."

Li Jing nodded, he was very satisfied with the way Ran Min handled affairs, and secretly said in his heart: He is worthy of being a hero who returned from the jam.

"At present, there is not much time left for us, the army is the top priority, only by thoroughly controlling the army first, can we carry out the next step of the plan, step by step to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the North Navy, so the speed of control of the army must be accelerated." Li Jing said with a serious face.

"No." Ran Min said in a deep voice.

"By the way, General Ran Min, there is no reusable general in the Northern Navy?"

Hearing Li Jing's question, Ran Min thought for a while and replied: "Donglai Tai Shici is the general that Kong Situ relies on the most, and he is also the first general in the Northern Navy, so he should be reusable. ”
