Chapter 418: Building an Army
This is naked blackmail from a miser, of course Ma Du will not learn from Shen Wansan, saying that Lao Tzu has the money to raise the army for you is stupid, this is simply looking for death.
"Don't worry about the emperor, as long as the navy is built, there will be no shortage of money, you forgot that there is also a city department."
Lao Zhu slapped the table, "What I said is that there is no money to build a navy." ”
Isn't this a joke when you go to the kiln and say that you don't have any money, and that you don't have money to build a navy, even in the 21st century, this is the most money-burning branch of the military.
Seeing that Ma Du didn't reply, Lao Zhu sighed and said: "If it really doesn't work, don't build this navy, and if the Japanese invaders make trouble in the future, they will simply ban the sea." ”
"This is not appropriate, whether or not the sea is forbidden, the Japanese will come, and they can't resist the enemy outside the country, and it is still my people who will suffer in the end." Knowing that Lao Zhu was hooking, Ma Du couldn't help but bite, "There is no way to have no money, you can leave everything to Weichen." ”
"Tsk...... What is there in this sea that is worth such a large amount of money? ”
"Weichen is really out of a public heart!"
"Alright, how long will it take you to settle the widow."
Ma Du arched his hand, "Peacefully is a hundred-year plan!" ”
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand and said: "Don't talk about those who are vain, they must achieve something in five years!" Yuansheng, you go and recruit the prince. ”
What did Lao Zhu call Zhu Biao for? Madu had a faint premonition. Soon Yuan Sheng took Zhu Biao into the hall, and after Zhu Biao gave the old Zhu a salute, everyone gave Zhu Biao a salute, and he was not afraid of trouble and helped everyone up one by one.
Since getting married, Zhu Biao has become more and more adult-like, and his height is getting higher and higher, and he is no longer the little fat man he used to be, but he looks more and more elegant.
It is said that the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more, and when she arrives at Chang Yuchun, she changes her father-in-law, his family is a rough embryo, how can he not like such an elegant son-in-law, let alone the crown prince.
Zhu Biao asked respectfully: "I don't know what happened to my father and the emperor calling the child over?" ”
Lao Zhu said seriously: "You are not young anymore, I am going to find you an errand, a few days ago, the Japanese invaders caused trouble in Shandong, and recently they began to attack Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, I am ready to let your prime minister suppress the Japanese ......"
Ma Du shook his head secretly, knowing that there was nothing good, but it didn't matter if he let Zhu Biao be his boss. Zhu Biao naturally won't stumble on him, and if he smashes his errand, he can still make him take the blame, anyway, Lao Zhu hurts his son, hehe......
Lao Zhu is smart, thinking that Ma Hou is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, thinking that there is a great good thing in it, otherwise he would not be so bloody. He is the emperor, it is not good to roll up his sleeves and grab Ma Du, so he simply let his son come over and get a piece of the pie. If he knew what Ma Du was thinking, he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
Zhu Biao is only a fifteen-year-old boy, mature on the surface, immature and immature, and his father suddenly pressed such a burden, a little overwhelmed, "The child has been studying with Mr. Song, and he doesn't know anything about the war." ”
"It doesn't matter, there is your uncle, he is responsible for preparing for the construction of the navy, you can supervise it in your spare time, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your father!"
Zhu Biao looked at Ma Du, who was winking at him, and he asked incredulously: "Uncle actually knows how to fight?" ”
Ma Du Zhengse said: "The prince is serious, Weichen has also commanded 80,000 troops on the grassland, if you don't believe it, you can ask your father-in-law." ”
Lao Zhu was very angry this time, and named Ma Du as the governor of the navy, I have to say that this specification is very high, so I can see how greedy Lao Zhu is, he just shook his hand and drew a big frame, hoping that Ma Du will help him fill this frame.
No matter how the navy will develop in the future, anyway, this title is not good for him, and it sounds like he doesn't know much more than what kind of supervision, affairs, and prestige. But there were not long-sighted people who came to rob him, Liao Yongan had to come to the navy for nothing, and Lao Zhu agreed without saying a word.
So Ma Du changed from the governor to the right governor, Liao Yongan was the left governor, and the left was respected in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no reason for a duke to be under the marquis. Ma Du understood that Lao Zhu was mixing sand, but there were less than 2,000 grains of sand in total, what was there to mix, not only the quantity was small, but also the quality was very poor.
Zhu Biao stood at the bow of the boat and pointed to the river beach and said, "Uncle is the navy team you said?" ”
Although he was young, he was a responsible leader, and when he heard that the navy was not even attending classes today, he came over early, but the scene in front of him made him very disappointed.
There were nearly 2,000 young men on the riverbank, swarthy and strong, but they did not look like any people. There are those who lie shirtless on the ground and are asleep, there are those who fight and curse, there are those who gather together to drink and eat meat, there are those who gamble with dice, and there are people who flirt with women passing by, but they are like a group of robbers and bandits, who can imagine that they used to be industrious and simple peasant children.
Not to mention that Zhu Biao was a little disappointed, even Ma Du was also shocked, before sending these people on the ship, they had been trained as recruits, and they really didn't expect it to be so rotten.
The environment creates people, they have learned the ability to operate ships and sail on the ship, but they have also learned a bad habit, they are well paid, and the sea is boring and boring, and it is difficult to learn badly.
Liao Yongan said disdainfully: "Where is this navy, this is a pirate!" ”
Madu glanced at him, "Have you ever seen a pirate?" ”
"I haven't seen it, but I know what a water thief looks like, and I'm a water thief myself! It was like this before he joined the emperor's command, and he changed it later. ”
Zhu Biao turned around and said, "Oh, does the Duke of the Fallen Kingdom have a good way?" ”
Liao Yongan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is a way to go back to His Royal Highness, but it is not a good way, and it is also the only way, that is, to kill, in order to rectify military discipline, Weichen killed three or four hundred people in one go." ”
Zhu Biao took a breath of cold air, "The ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention a human life, this method is really not advisable, the Duke of the Fallen Kingdom should think of another way!" ”
Ma Du said: "Training ordinary recruits for a month can achieve initial results, but to let them know how to sail, I am afraid it will take several years, and I don't know how many Ming people will suffer from the poison of the Ming Dynasty every year of delay." Your Highness should have heard that there have been Japanese raids in Mingzhou and Taizhou recently, and it may not be long before there will be military information from Fujian and Guangdong. ”
Zhu Biao nodded, "Uncle's meaning, I'm not a woman's kindness, but I can't bear it!" ”
"Your Highness's is really not the right time, let you see the joke, it will be a new scene to come back another day." Ma Du said to Zhu Biao's guards: "Please turn around and send the prince back to the city!" ”
Ma Du and Liao Yongan got on other boats, and waited for Zhu Biao to go far away in the boat before going ashore from the Qinhuai River. Ma Du immediately ordered: "Deflated, let them gather!" ”
Ma Du chose a hundred and ten neat veterans of the Shenji Battalion as his own soldiers, but the neat legs and feet were too neat in their hands, and they were equipped with iron hooks as prosthetics, and they all looked fierce and vicious. Especially the deflated and blind with an eye patch, and the severed hand with an iron hook, like the European pirates in the movie.
Liao Yongan instructed the deflated head: "If they don't listen to the order, they will directly correct the Fa on the spot!" ”
