Chapter 83: The Navy (2)
There was no sound in the entire hall, so people's eyes were looking at Comrade Li Er.
However, the mood of the civilian and military attaches is different, the civilian officials do not want to set up any navy now, and hope that Comrade Li Er can veto Wang Ke's proposal; On the military attachΓ©'s side, it was different, and they all hoped that Comrade Li Er would immediately make up his mind and agree to the establishment of the navy, a new branch of the armed forces, as Wang Ke had said. At the very least, don't oppose it right away, and listen to Wang Ke explain the reason, so that they can also stand up and say a few words at the right time to help Wang Ke.
Wang Ke's heart was also extremely nervous, he didn't know what kind of decision Comrade Li Er would make. He also thought about it for a long time before doing this, and later he also considered that according to the development of history, in the next four or five years, there would be no major wars in the Tang Empire. Some of them are only some local wars, such as the invasion of Tuyuhun, which put this small country sandwiched between the Tang Empire and Tubo under its own rule, and used it as a buffer zone between the Tang Empire and Tubo, and a place for troops to be stationed before the Tang Dynasty's war against Tubo.
Wang Ke hopes to use the past few years to do all the necessary work in front, and after everything is ready, he can carry out continuous strikes against the surrounding countries and extend the territory of the Tang Empire to an unprecedented situation.
Of course, Wang Ke did not have the luxury of hoping that he could help Comrade Li Er, like Genghis Khan later, to lead his troops to the Danube River in Europe. He knew that with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be possible for the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry to have the same fierce combat effectiveness as the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry, and he just hoped that these small countries around the Tang Empire would be included in the territory of the Tang Empire.
However, deep in his heart, there was a thought that he himself did not want to admit, that is, he must destroy the so-called descendants of Amaterasu God who brought great disasters to the Chinese people in the future life and made the Chinese never forget. The people of the 'stick' country who have always relied on our Chinese snort to live have become slaves of the Tang Empire, so that they dare to come to the land of China to learn a little something, and they will say with a straight face that their ancestors invented and created it.
Comrade Li Er's face was constantly changing, and the hearts of the ministers were also going up and down, and there was no moment of calm.
Finally, I heard Comrade Li Er speak: "Let's discuss it." This is not a trivial matter, and I hope that everyone can speak their minds. β
Comrade Li Er's remarks obviously mean that he himself cannot make up his mind, which makes the civilian officials somewhat disappointed, while the military attaches feel a glimmer of hope. Although Comrade Li Er did not explicitly agree, it can be seen that he has no objection to this proposal.
The military attachΓ©s believed that with Wang Ke's eloquence, Comrade Li Er could agree.
The military attache looked at Wang Ke and expected him to stand up and speak, but who knew that Wang Ke was as steady as Mount Tai, standing there motionless.
Li Jing quietly moved in front of Wang Ke and asked in a low voice, "Virtuous nephew, why don't you stand up and speak?" β
Wang Ke smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, let the little nephew listen to what they say, so that you can know yourself and your opponent and not be defeated in a hundred battles." β
Li Jing gave Wang Ke a thumbs up and said, "It's still your kid who can hold his breath." is a general, and in the future, the army will be 'handed over' to you, and we will rest assured! β
Wang Ke hurriedly whispered modestly: "Uncle, don't say that, the little nephew just doesn't know what they want to say, and he doesn't know how to deal with it." Uncle, don't lift the little nephew so high, it hurts so much if you fall. β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and stood quietly in place, looking at the civil officials to see what they were about to say.
At this moment, the civil officials were getting together and discussing how to state their opinions to Comrade Li Er.
Comrade Li Er saw that no one in the two lineups stood up, and asked unconsciously: "Why didn't anyone say it?" I said it, I will say what I have, even if I say it wrong, it doesn't matter, the secretary just says it. β
Wang Ke saw Fang Xuanling looking at their military, his heart tightened for no reason, he knew that this resourceful person, once he stood up and spoke, it would be difficult for his side to refute. After all, the old killers here are all good at fighting, and they are no worse than anyone else, but if you want to lay out the facts and be reasonable, few people can do it.
But if you are afraid, you will come, and sure enough, it was this Lord Fang who stood up, Li Jing may have also thought of this, and looked at Wang Ke, with a worried look in his eyes.
But seeing that Fang Xuanling wanted Comrade Li Er to arch his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that this proposal of Lord Xiao Wang is not bad, but very good, and it is called a high-level building." It's just that... β
As soon as Wang Ke heard this Lord Fang open his mouth, he praised himself, knowing that there was no good thing, and sure enough, as soon as this "but" came out, Wang Ke knew that it was coming, and immediately listened quietly to see what he was going to say, and he could refute it.
I only heard Fang Xuanling say: "However, now that I have just used troops against the Turks, there is not much money and food in the DPRK, and a series of reforms are also underway." The minister thinks that Lord Wang also knows this. In the current situation of our DPRK, is it a bit hasty to immediately build a navy? Therefore, the ministers and others believe that this matter of forming a navy should be slowed down and will be discussed later. β
Fang Xuanling's words were reasonable and responsible, and they sounded impeccable.
But he met Wang Ke, Wang Ke had already thought about this problem, and also found a way to deal with it, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Fang said is very reasonable, and now the situation in my dynasty is not different from what Lord Fang said." But... β
Wang Ke also came with a "but", but he didn't continue directly, but turned his head to Fang Xuanling and said: "If the kid says it, where is there anything that offends Lord Fang, please forgive Lord Fang." The kid is just right about things and not people, and the kid still respects the person of Lord Fang, but for my Datang, the kid can only be blunt. β
Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Although Lord Xiao Wang just said it, Fang Mou is not the kind of person with a small belly and 'chicken' intestines. β
Wang Ke bowed his hand to Fang Xuanling, and then continued what he said just now: "However, Lord Fang is not a soldier, and he can only consider the stability within the court. But for us soldiers, or rather, from another point of view, if we don't form a navy, we only care about internal production. At this time, there is an enemy attacking, so what should be good, production is not the same can not be completed. In this way, isn't it unflattering on both sides, and everything is delayed? β
When Wang Ke said this, he glanced at the civilian officials, and saw that some people were eager to try, and they wanted to come out to speak, but they didn't stop, and then said: "Besides, the formation of a navy is not an overnight thing. You have to choose a place where the ship docks, build a ship, and train soldiers. These had to be done one by one, and the time it took to select the place where the ship would dock, the minister had calculated, would take at least two years to complete. At that time, I think that my court should have enough money and food! At that time, wouldn't it be very suitable to build ships and train soldiers? β
As soon as Wang Ke finished speaking, a few people in the civil officials who wanted to jump out and say two sentences just now stopped moving, because what Wang Ke said had already blocked what they wanted to say, and it was meaningless to come out and say it again at this time.
At this time, Li Jing saw that no one on the civil official's side stood up, so he hurriedly walked out and said, "Lord Xiao Wang has made the truth very clear just now, and the old man doesn't want to repeat it here. Fang Daren stood at a different angle, and the problems he saw were definitely different. However, Lord Xiao Wang's consideration was very comprehensive, not only considering the problem from the standpoint of the army, but also considering it from a different angle. Therefore, the old man thought that Lord Wang's suggestion was feasible and should be started immediately. β
Li Jing's words began to feel like he was making peace with the mud, but the next few sentences affirmed that what Wang Ke said was right. Now on the military's side, Li Jing, who has the most weight in his speech, has also come out to express his attitude, and the civilian officials are also a little embarrassed to say anything, after all, in the current court, the words of the army can still make Comrade Li Er pay attention to it.
After a moment of silence, I saw Du Ruhui stand up, Wang Ke understood that it was time to make a decision, although he rarely went to court, but he also knew from Wang Si's usual chats with himself that in the civil officials, if there is anything, it is usually the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling who come out first to say something, and Du Ruhui finally came out to say their decision.
Now is that the moment.
Wang Ke heard Du Ruhui say: "Your Majesty, the ministers have listened to Lord Xiao Wang's words, and I feel that Lord Xiao Wang's consideration is very thoughtful, and Lord Xiao Wang's suggestion should be able to be carried out." It's just that Lord Xiao Wang only thinks about the army, isn't it too condescending, and in the future, Lord Xiao Wang will have to participate more in this political matter. β
When Wang Ke heard it, it could be said that he was a mixture of joy and sorrow. The good thing is that my proposal seems to have passed, but the sad thing is that I have found myself a difficult errand again, and I have put myself into a matter that I don't want to get involved in.
Comrade Li Er saw that the opinions of the two sides had been unified, and regardless of Wang Ke's mood now, he said: "Since everyone thinks that it should be carried out, then let's start doing it, this is to 'handover' to the military department to handle, and discuss the specific things with the Wang family boy, and if you want to do it, you can do it well at one time." β
After Comrade Li Er finished speaking, he said to Wang Ke: "Du Aiqing also said it just now, I think it's right. In the future, you really have to participate more in political affairs, don't just think about problems for the army, but also think more about things in the court. β
Wang Ke knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he had to step forward and say: "The emperor and the adults attach so much importance to Ke, so that Ke is really embarrassed, Ke can only learn more from the adults and solve the emperor's worries." It's just that if Ruoke has done something wrong, please don't blame the emperor, and don't scold you. β
Comrade Li Er said with a smile: "No. Isn't there still so much Aiqing watching? I just ask you to be more involved, you just have to say your ideas and let them refer to them, and they will do the specific things. β
Wang Ke breathed a sigh of relief, Comrade Li Er said this, that is, to tell other people, Wang Ke just made suggestions, said his thoughts, and specific decisions, and they had to make them, and then report to Comrade Li Er to know, and he would make the final decision. In this way, Wang Ke does not have to bear any responsibility, Wang Ke hurriedly said yes.
Only then did Comrade Li Er stand up and say, "Okay, today's matter is over." I'm a little tired, so let's do it, the military department should hurry up. β
Gonggong Yang hurriedly shouted: "Retreat." β
After kneeling to see Comrade Li Er leave, Wang Ke was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Jing.
Wang Ke sighed, he knew that he couldn't go home now. Asked someone to carry the sand table, followed Li Jing, obediently came to the military headquarters, and studied with the people of the military department where the docking places of ships could be built.
After choosing a general location, it is good to send someone to the field for investigation.
