Chapter 492: The Sound of the Sea (1)
As the saying goes, if you don't know if you don't see it, at a glance, it really surprised Li Xian a lot - although the "Infantry Drill Code" concocted by Li Xian is advanced in concept, but it is just some outlines, which can only play the role of enlightenment and guidance, if it is used for actual training, it is slightly insufficient, and the booklet submitted by Xiao Sanlang is based on the guiding outline to refine the indicators, although it is far from perfect, but there are many ideological flashpoints in it, and the feasibility is quite high, which makes Li Xian really feel a little surprised.
"Okay, San Lang can be careful if this, Lone can rest assured, don't be afraid of making mistakes, change back if you are wrong, Lone handed over this first regiment, San Lang just let it go, and train an elite soldier for my Datang, it will be successful on the battlefield every day, and it will show the heroic nature of Saburo!"
Li Xian was quite satisfied with this training experience, and he only took up the pen to revise a few obviously inappropriate rules, and most of the opinions were completely adopted, and he praised Xiao Sanlang very much.
"His Royal Highness Xie's guidance, the last general ......"
Xiao Sanlang's experience is also the product of a blind man touching an elephant, and he himself does not dare to be 100% sure of this, at this time, seeing Li Xian giving such a high evaluation, his spirit was lifted, and he was busy bowing down to thank him for a few words, but before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Ziming rushing in from outside, and he had to stop halfway through the words.
"Your Highness, Hangzhou is in a hurry!"
Liu Ziming didn't pay attention to Xiao Sanlang's expression, walked in front of Li Xian in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly handed over a small copper pipe in his hand.
"Oh?"
As soon as he heard that it was an urgent matter from Hangzhou, Li Xian didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took the small copper pipe, skillfully twisted the secret button on it, and took out a secret letter full of words from inside, and after quickly scanning it, a smile of joy from the heart immediately appeared on his face......
Hangzhou, since ancient times has the beauty of paradise on earth, to Suzhou as famous, the beauty of its scenery is needless to say, since the Sui Yang Emperor opened the Grand Canal, and has become the starting and ending point of the waterway in the south of the Yangtze River, the economy is extraordinarily active, the most prosperous place is the wharf of the Grand Canal, in contrast, the Qiantang River wharf that mainly goes to the open sea is a little rather depressed a lot, the most lively time, but only some not too big cargo ships three or two, the cargo throughput is far less than one thousandth of the canal wharf, and is located outside the city, the popularity is a little pitiful, However, that's all in the past, since the year before the "Wang Ji firm" came here to invest, the Qiantang River wharf quickly became popular, not to mention, just more than 40 large cargo ships built at the same time to make the four miles and eight towns for the sensation, not only the shipbuilding carpenters of Hangzhou are mostly concentrated here, even the surrounding Yaozhou, Wenzhou and other places of the carpenters are also attracted by the generous treatment, tens of thousands of craftsmen gathered at the wharf, that scene can only be described by the word spectacular, of course, the entanglement caused by it is also a lot, However, with the strong support of the new assassin Shi Le Si Hui (the youngest son of the name Le Yanwei), the development of the "Wang Kee Firm" has never encountered too many troubles and twists and turns, after more than a year and a half of busyness, forty-eight large ships - forty cargo ships, eight warships - almost simultaneously completed, and now, the monsoon has risen, and the fleet full of all kinds of goods has been neatly lined up on the docks, waiting for the ceremony to be completed, about to embark on the expedition.
"Brother Tiger, this fleet, this fleet is real, really, brother, am I not dreaming? It's, it's really, it's so good, it's so good......"
The voyage ceremony is about to begin, all that is left is to wait for Lord Thorn Shi to come to preside, as the big shopkeeper of "Wang Ji Firm", Wang Haibin was so excited that he couldn't help himself, rubbed his hands nervously, touched Lin Hu who was standing beside him with his shoulder, and said incoherently, a pair of old eyes were full of tears of excitement.
"Well, it's true, it can't be fake!"
Looking at the neat ships under the high platform, Lin Hu's heart was also very excited, it was not easy, these forty ships from preparation to construction, almost all of them were taken care of by him Lin Hu, and now everything is ready, the east wind has risen, and a great achievement is in front of him, how can Lin Hu not be excited, but he is calm by nature, and he didn't bring it to his face, at this time, listening to Wang Haibin babbling there, Lin Hu's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.
"It's really good, it's really good, hehe, Brother Tiger smiled, I think when I was a brother in the sailor, I have seen a fleet bigger than this, but that's the sailor, these are our own ships, different, different, hehe, good, good!"
Wang Haibin was hired by Li Xian in September last year, and rushed to Hangzhou City in October, thinking that he was just a hired steward, and he should not have much real power at all, but he didn't expect that after arriving, Lin Hu actually did not hesitate to let all the management affairs of the fleet go, not only that, but also named the fleet "Wang Ji Firm", which moved Wang Haibin to devote himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the fleet, and worked hard for more than a year, and finally waited for the fleet to go to sea. There was too much excitement and emotion in Wang Haibin's heart, and he seemed a little nagging when he pulled it up.
"Well, it's different!"
If you want to talk about emotion, Lin Hu's heart will only be more emotionally than Wang Haibin, and it will never be less - Lin Hu came to Hangzhou to be degraded, but he didn't complain about Li Xian, just because he knew very well how serious his mistake was, if it wasn't for a coincidence, his brother-in-law really didn't know how much loss it would bring to the British Palace, as soon as he thought of this, Lin Hu's heart was full of guilt, and he felt that he had failed Li Xian's weight, but Lin Hu never wanted to sink here, he wanted to use merit to wash away his shame, The current fleet expedition was what he believed to be a good opportunity to atone for his sins, Lin Hu refused to make a mistake in the past, and as soon as he thought of this, Lin Hu's hands involuntarily clenched.
"Brother Tiger, listen to my brother's advice, although this fleet looks spectacular, but once it goes to sea, it is just a sesame mung bean, it is really difficult to call it stable, the risk is not small, and the brother does not know the nature of the water, it is better to wait for my fleet to return on the shore."
After Wang Haibin was excited for a while, he suddenly changed his words and persuaded Lin Hu not to act with the ship again, not because he was afraid that Lin Hu would share his power with Wang Haibin, but because he was really worried that Lin Hu would have an accident at sea.
"I've made up my mind, so don't persuade my brother anymore."
Lin Hu has cooperated with Wang Haibin tacitly over the past year, and has a deep friendship with each other, knowing that Wang Haibin is sincere in what he said, but Lin Hu is unwilling to change his original intention, just because this is his journey of atonement and an opportunity for him to rise again, no matter how difficult it is, Lin Hu will never give up easily.
"Alas, it's okay, the tiger brother and the old brother will be on the same boat, and they will take care of each other."
Since he knew that Lin Hu wanted to personally lead the escort fleet to escort the caravan, Wang Haibin had been persuaded seven or eight times, and each time he got the same answer, which made Wang Haibin worried, but he was also helpless.
"Brother rest assured, in the past few years, the little brother has spent a lot of time on the water, I dare not say that compared with the old brother, but it is not good-looking, if there are uninteresting pirates dare to come, the little brother will definitely be able to call him come and go!"
Since Lin Hu was demoted to Hangzhou three years ago, he had received Li Xian's secret order on the "Great Navigation Plan", and since then, Lin Hu has spent a lot of effort to practice the art of water warfare, and has even used the relationship with the Jiangnan Navy Master to practice for half a year, and now when it comes to the way of water warfare, Lin Hu's self-confidence is very high.
"Alas, this ......"
Wang Haibin had fought several vicious battles when he was in the naval division, and Wang Haibin was one of the commanders of the detachment in the battle of the Baicun River to destroy the Japanese fleet, and he knew how cruel the real naval battle was, hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Lin Hu, and the two brothers greeted the audience side by side.
"See Lord Thorn!"
Wang Haibin and Lin Hu hurriedly rushed to the young official, and respectfully saluted each other.
"It's all gone, the official has some trivial matters delayed, and he is a step late, so please don't be surprised by the two shopkeepers."
This young official is the new assassin Shi Le Si Hui, only twenty-eight years old, but he is already in the position of the Zhongzhou Assassin History, which is an outlier among the Tang Dynasty officials, of course, most of this is due to Li Xian's secret operation, plus his father Le Yanwei is now one of the four giants under Li Xian's account, Le Sihui did not hesitate to join Li Xian's command, so he will know the true origin of Wang and Lin, and he will not dare to put a stab in front of the two, which explains a sentence kindly.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Thorn Shi, please!"
As far as the system of the British King's Mansion is concerned, the status of Wang and Lin is not under Le Sihui, but there are many people at this time, and it is impossible to behave too casually.
"Brother Lin, His Royal Highness entrusted this official with a message, saying that the sea is dangerous, and you should cherish your useful body, so don't go this time."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to take the stage, Le Siyan leaned to Lin Hu's side and whispered Li Xian's entrustment.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......"
As soon as he heard Le Sihui say this, Lin Hu's eyes immediately turned red, and he muttered a few times in a choked voice, but he didn't say anything, just silently followed behind Le Sihui and slowly walked up to the small high platform......
