The departure of more than 100,000 troops is easier said than done, and a lot of preparation work needs to be coordinated and arranged by Li Zhongyi.

Today's imperial court prohibits the army, and adopts the rules of close cooperation and mutual containment of several major institutions, namely the General Staff Department, the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, the Logistics Department, the Pacification Department, the Privy Council, and the various armies, and these six institutions jointly hold military power.

These six major institutions are not subordinate to each other, they are all directly under the jurisdiction of Li Zhongyi, and they are absolutely under Li Zhongyi's dispatch.

Before the expedition, Li Zhongyi brought the prime minister of the cabinet, Li Qiong, and the second minister from Ruan, and found the inner study, and everyone talked behind closed doors.

"According to my estimate, once the news of the army's departure spreads, someone will definitely bring up the old matter of the prince's imprisonment!"

Everyone is their own people, and Li Zhongyi didn't bother to beat around the bush, and directly expressed his worries.

Li Qiong couldn't help nodding and sighing: "The saint is no better than the emperor, and the old minister really admires it very much." ”

Zhi Congruan glanced at Li Qiong a little weirdly, this old fox is getting better and better at slapping sycophants, and it is extremely smooth!

"The two ministers both know that my sons are still young, and even if one of them is appointed as the prison [zero point reading], they can't manage anything. Therefore, I still want the cabinet to be in charge of the country's general affairs. ”

Li Zhongyi saw it very thoroughly, and instead of putting his young son in the position of superintendent, it was better to simply delegate it to the cabinet. In this way, responsibility and power are just equal, and the prime ministers are not allowed to shirk and blame.

Of course, military power cannot also be delegated to the Cabinet. According to the old practice last time, after Li Zhongyi left Kaifeng City, the military power of the entire Gyeonggi region was controlled by Li Yunxiao, the commander of the Nine Gates.

Li Qiong and Zhi Congruan glanced at each other, even if Li Zhongyi didn't say it, they also knew in their hearts that the military power must be in Li Yunxiao's hands.

The last time, when Li Zhongyi led the Northern Expedition, Li Yunxiao had been carrying the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi to monitor the performance of the cabinet ministers nearby.

As a result, Wei Renpu, who had an ambiguous attitude, lost his hard-won prime ministership.

"This time, I will personally lead the sea attack on that road, and Zuo Ziguang, Li Yanqing and Li Yunxiao will stay behind to assist the ministers in maintaining the stability of the court situation." Before Li Zhongyi's words fell, Li Qiong and Zhi Congruan invariably showed a knowing smile, and sure enough!

Who is Zuo Ziguang? He is one of Li Zhongyi's only two closed disciples, and he has the most powerful and mysterious intelligence agency in the entire strong man, the Tiqi Division.

As for Li Yanqing, this guy is also a henchman of Li Zhongyi's henchmen, a descendant of his lineage, he is staring at Kaifeng City to see who dares to move?

As for Li Yunxiao, it is needless to say. Li Zhongyi was able to appoint him as the commander of the Nine Gates, which is equivalent to putting his wealth and life in his hands, if there is no absolute trust, how can it be?

On the other hand, Li Zhongyi summoned Li Qiong and Zhi Congruan separately in the inner study, and in essence, he also had a great sense of trust in the two of them.

Of course, people who play politics don't believe in tears!

As far as reality is concerned, Li Qiong's granddaughter Li Qiniang is already pregnant, and Zhe Saihua, the granddaughter of Ruan, already has a son. If one of them really wants to usurp the throne, there is absolutely no possibility of cooperation for the other.

Li Qiong and Zhi Congruan are already old foxes who have cultivated to perfection, and they can understand Li Zhongyi's plot layout, and they can understand it completely!

Li Zhongyi grabbed a melon seed, stuffed it into his mouth, knocked it lightly, rolled his tongue, and sucked the melon seed kernel into his mouth.

After all, Li Qiong is old, and after sitting for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be anxious, he can't hold it back, so he simply got up and confessed.

Li Zhongyi had no reason to be unacceptable, and he was a step behind Ruan again, and couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart: "It's really a thousand-year-old demon fox." Nima, Li Qiong actually used the fact that he couldn't hold back his urine to tell Li Zhongyi in disguise that he was old and had few days to come, so did he have the ambition to rebel? ”

Originally, Zhe Congruan wanted to take the initiative to pretend to be sick and take leave for a while, so as not to be contaminated with the suspicion of being contaminated with melon fields and plums. Unexpectedly, Li Qiong grabbed the first move again, which is really a pity!

Regarding Li Qiong's weakness style, how can Li Zhongyi not know the reason?

However, under the mutual restraint of the system, Li Zhongyi has reason to believe that no matter who he is, it is impossible for him to have earth-shaking power after he leaves Beijing.

To put it bluntly, it is a very arrogant sentence, forgive you for not being able to make big waves!

After sending off the two ministers, Li Hu, the judge of the weapons prison who had been waiting in the side hall outside the door, appeared in front of Li Zhongyi respectfully.

Li Hu is not only Li Qiniang's father, but also the ruler of the dynasty.

However, this dangdang is a very special honest man, honest and honest, which can be used to describe his character.

It is precisely because Li Hu is an honest man that Li Zhongyi handed over such an important yamen as the Ordnance Supervisor to him to govern.

Facts have proven that the Ordnance Supervisor, a yamen engaged in national defense science and technology, must arrange for an honest person to be at the helm of the work conscientiously.

"Your Majesty, according to your orders, a total of 300 6-pounder cannons and 100 12-pounder cannons have been made. It's just that after testing, if the 12-pounder cannon is loaded onto the warship in large quantities and fired at the same time, it is easy to cause relatively large damage to the main beam of the warship...... "Li Hu also didn't know the slippery method of avoiding the heavy and light, but he reported the objective reality in 1510.

After Li Zhongyi listened, he raised his chin and asked Li Hu: "Have you found a solution there?" ”

Li Hu shook his head, touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "This is mainly the serious consequences caused by the previous shipbuilding timber, which has not gone through the process of drying for three years and five years. ”

Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard it, and in order to make an emergency, he used the cut wood to make a warship when it was not yet dry.

The basic materials are unqualified, that is, congenital deficiencies, and it is difficult to make up for them the day after tomorrow!

But then again, without the assistance of the water master, it would be difficult for Li Zhongyi to get Yuguan. If Yuguan is not taken, it will not be possible to cut off the connection between Tokyo Road and Nanjing Road in the Khitan Kingdom.

Cutting off the connection between Tokyo Road and Nanjing Road is tantamount to adding some huge pressure to Li Zhongyi's Northern Expedition.

In a word, the construction of warships in a hurry for quick success and quick profit solves the urgent task and is also an urgent need!

Obviously, after taking back the sixteen states of Youyun, most of the immediate and urgent needs have been resolved. The next shipbuilding action can be carried out step by step in accordance with the scientific method, and each process is implemented step by step.

"I wondered, can I put the wood that was transported to the shipyard on the kang to dry?" Li Zhongyi had a whim, "If this is feasible, it can save a lot of shipbuilding time." ”

Li Hu smiled innocently, touched his head and said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister doesn't understand whether he can dry the ship's wood, and he still needs to go back and ask those old boatmen." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, and sent Li Hu to be in charge of the weapons superintendent, he didn't choose the wrong person!

Scientific things must not be false at all, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao!

Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, is knowing!
