In the lecture hall, the students were arguing about a question, with the current strength of the Han Dynasty, should they attack the Northern Han Dynasty first, or the Western Shu first?

Li Zhongyi, led Gao Qiang and Zhang Sanzheng, stood outside the door of the classroom, silently listening to the students' speeches.

The trainees in the lecture hall all have experience in participating in battles, and all of them are officers who have come out of actual combat. Therefore, the speeches of the cadets, no matter how outrageous, are basically in line with the key to the art of war.

According to the rules set by Li Zhongyi, the instructors of the martial arts hall have also been rotated several times.

It is very simple that theory must be combined with practice in order to have guiding significance for actual combat. If, after entering the lecture hall, he never led the troops to fight again, the possibility of a disconnect between theory and practice is not ordinary.

Since Yang Lie and several senior generals at the level of commanders were officially crowned marquis, Li Zhongyi stuffed them all into the lecture hall, allowing them to completely calm down and take on the heavy responsibility of preaching and teaching and solving doubts.

Today, Li Zhongyi deliberately came to listen to the lectures of Yang Lie and others, but unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door of the classroom, he heard someone say, "In my opinion, it is completely possible to first cut down the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue, take the grain and tax land in the south of the Yangtze River, and then free up your hands to clean up Liu Han and Xishu in the north." ”

Soon, Li Zhongyi heard Yang Lie's question, "I think back then, the Western Jin Dynasty was to destroy Western Shu first, and then destroy Eastern Wu, why did you want to do the opposite?" ”

"Yang Shuai, the last general thinks that the current situation is completely different from the beginning. Our army has a powerful naval division, and only 80,000 cavalry troops can attract the main force of the Southern Tang Army to the Hongzhou line. In fact, the main force of our army, 100,000 soldiers and horses, took the sea route by boat, first took Wuyue, and after occupying the foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, under the attack from both sides, the Southern Tang Dynasty would be destroyed. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, according to the suggestion of the Senate, the first target of the unification war was the Wu Yueqian family who was cowering in a corner of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

At this time, it was different from the past, and among the entire Chinese countries, the naval forces of the Qiang Han Dynasty were extremely strong, with more than 2,000 warships.

During the truce on weekdays, the main force of transporting grain from Jianghuai into Kaifeng City was the transport ship of the naval division.

However, although the sailor is powerful, there are actually hidden worries. At the beginning, in order to make full use of the convenient conditions of sea transportation, the timber of many warships was not processed for several years.

In this way, the overall life of the warship will be greatly reduced, and it will only be available for five years at most.

Now, according to Zhao Laoqi's report, at least one-third of the warships in the naval division have begun to seep water in the bilge.

Therefore, after Li Zhongyi entered Kaifeng City, he chose the seaside of Dengzhou and expanded several times on the basis of the original shipyard.

More than 1,000 shipwrights collected from Kaifeng City were also sent to the Dengzhou Shipyard, so that they could study the great business of building sea ships together with the craftsmen transferred from the Goryeo Shipyard.

What made the entire shipbuilding industry advance by leaps and bounds was actually after Li Zhongyi won Yuguan, and under the heavy reward, the fishermen and herdsmen of all ethnic groups outside the pass cut pine and fir wood in exchange for money and silk.

The centuries-old pine and fir trees on Changbai Mountain are so much that they can't be cut, and it is said that the wood is exchanged for money and silk, but in fact, in the hostile state between the Li Jiajun and the Khitans, these timbers are all smuggled goods.

It's just that there are too many people involved in timber smuggling, and they can't be caught, and the Khitans can only stare dryly.

In addition, due to the existence of Xiaoyaojin Bazaar, Huang Jingsheng has purchased nearly 1,000 teak trees on hand.

Teak is actually the most suitable wood for shipbuilding, but the whole of China is not the main source of teak, resulting in extreme scarcity.

The teak in Huang Jingsheng's hand is actually wood smuggled by merchants from the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue from the Nanyang countries.

There is teak almost everywhere in Nanyang, and it is not very valuable, Huang Jingsheng offered five times the high price, and after the open purchase, naturally some merchants were willing to send teak to Xiaoyaojin Market.

Li Zhongyi quietly walked to the back door of the classroom, and saw a young officer with a white face and beard, standing in his own seat, even in the face of the famous handsome Yang Lie, he was still talking calmly and eloquently.

"Well, write down the person's name." Li Zhongyi turned his head and instructed Gao Qiang, who was carrying the little black book in his arms.

There are many strong generals in the land battle of the Li family's army. However, there are far fewer officers who know how to advance by land and water.

When Li Zhongyi circled around the entire lecture hall and sat back in the mountain chief's room, Gao Qiang came back in a hurry, and he whispered: "If you go back to the emperor, that person's name is Zhong Nanqi, and he is the deputy commander selected from the First Army A Battalion. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and raised his chin slightly at Zhang Sanzheng.

Zhang Sanzheng immediately understood, turned around and went out, and with little effort, he brought a junior officer in.

"Bang!" The officer thumped his chest and saluted, and said loudly, "The last general, Li Kang, the head of the fifth army's battalion, knocks on the mountain chief." ”

Even if Li Zhongyi has become the emperor, as long as he is in the martial arts hall, he likes people to call him the mountain chief, not the emperor.

"Li Dare? Hehe, I don't know if you ...... with General Li Guang of the Han Dynasty" Li Zhongyi deliberately paused, waiting for Li Dang's explanation.

Li Dang held his head high and said loudly: "Don't hide it from the mountain chief, General Li Guang is the ancestor of this branch of the Xia family. ”

"Oh, no wonder the Khitan people are afraid of you like a tiger, and you really want to go out of the tiger......" Li Zhongyi immediately became interested, so he used the impression in his memory to communicate with Li Dang about some of the past events of the Li Guang family.

Li Kang was a little nervous at first, but gradually, he found that Li Zhongyi was very gentle, so he was not so restrained, and he dared to speak.

It turned out that after Li Guang committed suicide, the Li family living in Longxi split up.

The ancestors of Li Kang's branch, in order to commemorate Li Guang and Li Kang, the heads of each generation of their families were actually called Li Kang.

Li Zhongyi wondered in his heart, in addition to him, a freak who did not abide by the rules of Confucianism, there were still people who were not afraid of breaking taboos, and preferred to use the name of their ancestors.

Objectively speaking, the big name of the dog baby is Li Jiyi, but in fact, from the perspective of etiquette, it is extremely inappropriate. But the problem is that Li Dahe, who is responsible for naming his eldest grandson, is proud of Li Zhongyi, and hopes that the dog baby can inherit Li Zhongyi's career, so what can I do?

The rules are all set by people, there is Li Jiyi in the front, and Li Dang in the back, it is not surprising!

What's more, Li Kang's family has been practicing martial arts and serving in the army for generations, and they don't pay attention to the rules of Confucianism.

No matter how busy he was, Li Zhongyi's habit was to come to the martial arts hall at least once every ten days to give lectures and talk to a few cadet officers.

With the passage of time, Li Zhongyi's habit has become a well-known practice in the lecture hall.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are rights and wrongs!

Some people wanted to gain Li Zhongyi's favor, so they deliberately studied on the side of the road that Li Zhongyi often walked, while others insisted on practicing long-distance running around the mountain chief's room.

In Li Zhongyi's heart, he actually understood everything, but he still summoned these people. After all, humans are ambitious animals.

The officers who tried every means to take the initiative to get closer were obviously smart people, and Li Zhongyi liked to deal with smart people the most.

The purpose of establishing military academies is not to train military geniuses, but to enable the vast majority of officers to have military command ability above the standard after graduation.

It is impossible for a real military genius to be selected from a military academy, but only to reflect his own value from actual combat and then stand out.

With the current situation of the Li family's army, as long as it is not ambushed, the army can completely take advantage of the advantages of artillery and divine arm crossbows, stick in place and wait for reinforcements, and become a very difficult bone for the enemy to gnaw.

Therefore, in the lecture hall, all the teachers, including Li Zhongyi, emphasized the importance of throat repulsion and reconnaissance.

To put it bluntly, the basic operational principle of the Li Jiajun was that it would rather give up an easy victory than ensure that it would not be ambushed.

Li Zhongyi's principle of employing troops is actually unusually conservative, rarely taking risks, and would rather not fight than lose the battle. He himself commanded the battle, and the warriors of the throat battalion were to be released at least a hundred miles away, so as not to fall into an ambush by the enemy.

After coming out of the lecture hall, he happened to pass by the pavilion in Kaifeng City, Li Zhongyi's mind moved, and he immediately remembered Zhou Zong, who had been living here.

Since Zhou Zong came to the north, Li Zhongyi has never let him go back to the Southern Tang Dynasty because he has always been thinking about Xiao Zhouhou.

Li Zhongyi's treatment of Zhou Zong is indeed very generous, except for a large group of people following him when he goes out, he can do whatever he wants.

The task of monitoring Zhou Zong, Li Zhongyi handed over to Li Yanqing, the secretary of the police temple, for the simple reason that when Li Yanqing used to work in the Department of Military Justice, what he was best at was stalking and covert surveillance.

Now, under Li Yanqing's strict "protection", Zhou Zong's small life is quite comfortable, but he does not have full freedom.

In fact, if Zhou Zong succeeded in absconding, Li Zhongyi would not send someone to chase him. The logic is very simple, can you run away from the monk and escape from the temple?

Even if Zhou Zong successfully escaped back to Hongzhou, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Zhongyi only needed to send Li Yu a strongly-worded edict, and Li Yu would have to obediently send Zhou Zong back to Kaifeng City.

When Zhou Zong heard that Li Zhongyi came suddenly, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he hadn't seen Li Zhongyi for more than two years, could it be that he killed him?

After the meeting, Li Zhongyi kept talking about Xila, and Zhou Zong secretly put his mind at ease, it seems that Li Zhongyi came here without malicious intent.

"Zhou Situ, how is the food in Kaifeng compared to Hongzhou?" Li Zhongyi picked up the teacup, but deliberately didn't drink it.

What are you kidding, how dare Li Zhongyi drink the tea soup offered by Zhou Zong?

In case it is poisonous, Li Zhongyi's death will be too unworthy and too wronged!

"If you go back to the emperor, the food in Kaifeng is much stronger than that in Hongzhou. Just steamed cakes, there are more than a dozen methods and flavors, the old minister is really breathtaking, and he can't help but think about it! ”

Zhou Zong's ability to talk nonsense is not ordinary, but his face does not change and his heart does not beat!

Hehe, Li Zhongyi secretly felt funny, if it weren't for Li Yanqing's tight care, Zhou Zong would have flown back to the Southern Tang Dynasty a long time ago!
