Chapter 353: The Arrangement of the Imperial Court
What Li Yuanjing regretted the most was to encourage these foreign envoys to communicate with others more when they were on the ship, so as to improve their Chinese skills.
This original intention was originally good, but what he didn't expect was that after a few months of study, these people had no big problems in basic communication.
But one by one, the opening of the mouth is a local dialect that makes people cry and laugh, which is a little embarrassing.
And after these goods learned some Chinese, they were so excited that they couldn't do it, and they went to show off their dialects when they saw people.
When the fleet docked earlier, the gang was completely shocked, although this was not really a town, and all they could see was two enclosed military camps, as well as the military dock where they were currently docked and the civilian dock not far away.
Compared with the two, the civil wharf is busier, the fleet to Dongzhou has just returned, and there are all kinds of goods on the wharf at the moment are being loaded, and there are also many people waiting here to board the ship, these are immigrants.
But these people don't know, they still think that Datang's shipping has been so developed, so that so many people choose to take a boat when they travel.
Of course, what is even more shocking is that their fleet is all thousand-stone ships, and the long-distance fleet is naturally needless to say, even the ones docked on the shore are thousand-stone ships, and when they passed by the shipyard before, they also saw dozens of thousand-stone ships that had been launched.
Looking at Datang's thousand-stone battleship, looking at the small sampan of his own country, how can he still play this?
"These are all envoys sent by some countries along the way, Uncle Wang will settle them first, arrange for manpower protection, and then set off back to Chang'an three days later." Li Yuanjing explained helplessly.
Li Daozong nodded silently, foreign envoys are here, and it is also appropriate to send troops to protect them.
Immediately, Li Daozong ordered people to clean up the houses on the one hand, and sent cavalry to Chang'an to report the situation on the other hand.
This trip can be said to be full of harvest, and every step is in Li Yuanjing's calculations, otherwise, this trip will never come back for more than ten months.
Of course, there were mistakes, such as allowing 3,000 people to return by land in Jiaozhou.
Li Yuanjing didn't expect that things over there would be resolved so smoothly, so when the fleet arrived in Haizhou, these people had not left Qianzhong Dao.
This road is not easy to walk, but after leaving Qianzhong Road, the road is relatively stable, but even so, they will not be able to return to Chang'an for more than a month.
The tedious things of the fleet are naturally arranged, and then the battleship needs to be overhauled, and there will be no sailing tasks in a short time, so there is no hurry for a while.
Fortunately, there is the East Fleet in front of the foundation, and now the shipyard has risen several steps in terms of construction and maintenance technology.
Li Yuanjing drank everyone back, leaving only Li Daozong, and even Li Ji was pushed out in a daze.
"Does Uncle Wang have any arrangements next?" There were only two uncles and nephews left in the house, and Li Yuanjing was not polite, and asked directly.
Li Daozong and Li Ji have been borrowed by him for more than two years, and these two people have really helped themselves, but they can't stay here all the time after all, and judging from the actions of the imperial court, it seems that a large-scale restructuring is just around the corner.
And Li Daozong and Li Ji, two experienced generals, are naturally Li Shimin's first choice.
"Your Majesty means that this matter should not be rushed, these 12,000 people are the first batch of test sites, and some tests may be carried out next, and if it is feasible, it can be promoted on a large scale, so Your Highness will return to Beijing this time, and Your Majesty is likely to double the size of the Haizhou camp." Li Daozong did not hide this.
The entire plan framework was put forward by Li Yuanjing, is there any significance in hiding it from him?
Li Yuanjing thought about it, whether the scale of the Haizhou battalion was expanded or not made of little sense to him, anyway, the establishment of 50,000 for him would not increase, at most, he would eliminate the family army, and then replenish 10,000 by himself.
With an increase of 50,000 people, according to the current scale, it is very likely that Li Shimin will have to bring over two more generals.
It's not that Li Daozong and Li Ji are incapable of leading 100,000 people, but that it is far from enough to rely on the two of them in the next major reform of the government army, and even four generals may not be enough.
Unless he is not in a hurry, he is willing to spend ten or eight years to complete this matter.
But is it possible? Obviously, it is impossible, overseas everywhere has to be developed, everywhere there is to be garrisons, with the discovery of so much land in Southeast Asia, this matter forced the imperial court to put the reform on the agenda as soon as possible, and strive to complete the reform of at least 100,000 people within a year.
These are the minimum number of people that Li Yuanjing thinks he needs after calculation, and looking at the current situation, it seems that his plan is a little unworkable.
But Jiaozhou is very important, and it must not be easily given up, otherwise for Datang, it will only be close and far.
"What does Uncle Wang think of Uncle Wang's ability in Guangning?" Li Yuanjing then asked!
"You're going to move the state?" Li Daozong suddenly frowned.
"Jiaozhou must move, when I came back this time, the fleet passed through Jiaozhou, if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Guangning Wang was sick on the way to office, so that they had a chance to take advantage of it, I'm afraid that the grass on Uncle Wang's grave in Guangning is now one person high!" Li Yuanjing said directly, he had no doubt that those people would kill Li Daoxing, of course, this illness did save Li Daoxing, there is no doubt about it.
"What?" Li Daozong was furious when he heard this, although Li Daoxing is not very capable, but he is also quite self-aware, he has not made any big mistakes, he is still honest in the clan, and the most important thing is that Li Daoxing is his younger brother.
Li Yuanjing's words undoubtedly clearly told Li Daozong that if it weren't for the coincidence, Li Daoxing would have died in the hands of those people a long time ago.
However, Li Daozong quickly calmed down, if there was really something big wrong with Li Daoxing's side, Li Yuanjing would not come back so soon, the situation over there should be stable, and there would be no danger for the time being.
"What do you want to do?"
"This is a big plan, what this king said doesn't count, Uncle Wang and this king will go back to Chang'an together in three days, and discuss it together when the time comes." Li Yuanjing shook his head and did not say his plan.
"The old man doesn't have His Majesty's edict......" Li Daozong spread his hands speechlessly.
He is now a foreign general, and he is not allowed to return to Beijing without the emperor's edict, of course, in fact, it is not so strict, if you have something to go back, you can send someone to send the application first, and the emperor will agree.
Generally, most people send fast horses to deliver the application first, walk slowly and leisurely in the back, and then accelerate after getting a reply.
Of course, if it's not an important matter, no one will do it, and if the emperor rejects your application, and you leave the camp without permission at this time, then it will be a big problem.
Li Yuanjing smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Wang just follow, this king will go and tell the imperial brother about this!" ”
