In the dim cabin, Li Zhang sat by the bookcase and pondered for a long time, then picked up the brush next to him and began to write: "The sailors have been corrupted for many years, and they have long been useless, and the reform of the sailors is also imperative, and the future threat will definitely come from the sea, so I have established a ...... to divide the sailors into two and establish an independent navy."

Li Zhang wrote down on the paper what he has seen and felt these days, as well as suggestions for the navy, etc., these are his recent gains, through the conversation with Dong Qing and Commander Hu, as well as his personal communication with those sailors, he has also mastered the first-hand information about the sailor, but from the information collected now, the situation of the sailor is also quite bad, if he does not undergo a major change, Li Zhang's next dream of controlling the ocean cannot be implemented at all.

As a traverser, Li Zhang knows that the sea is the future, although Europe is still only a dark place, Central Asia is a mess, and the Americas and Africa are uncivilized continents, but the more this is the case, it is the best time for the Great Song Dynasty to expand overseas, as the most advanced civilization of this era, the Great Song Dynasty has the responsibility to spread the light of civilization, so that the whole world can feel the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty.

Thinking of the above shameless remarks, Li Zhang couldn't help but smile a little, since others can be so shameless, then of course Da Song can, this world is the law of the jungle, since Da Song is ahead, then don't worry about anything, just take this first step, and then let others have no way out!

After a period of boring sailing, Li Zhang and his entourage finally arrived in Quanzhou, Quanzhou is also known as Licheng, because the whole Quanzhou city resembles a carp, and the city of Quanzhou is full of thorn tung trees, so Quanzhou Port is also called Thorn Tong Port.

Li Zhang stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the ships in and out of Quanzhou Port, and couldn't help but show an excited look, although Hangzhou was also a famous port before, but Hangzhou was mainly an inland port, and the seaport was far inferior to Quanzhou, after all, Quanzhou was second only to Guangzhou in terms of maritime trade, known as the second largest seaport in the Great Song Dynasty.

And in the cabin behind Li Zhang, Dong Qing looked at the Quanzhou Port outside through the gap in the window, and the whole person was trembling with excitement, he returned here countless times in a dream, in which he killed the enemy with his own hands to avenge his family, but a dream is a dream after all, he was even desperate before, and now this dream is finally coming true.

Li Zhang's family took a warship, so they did not enter the civil wharf with other merchant ships, but sailed directly into the naval camp in Quanzhou, the so-called naval battalion, in fact, is located in an independent area of the port, and there is a separate channel, except for the warship, civilian ships are strictly forbidden to approach.

For the arrival of Li Zhang's fleet, the Quanzhou sailors did not have any preparations, generally speaking, the sailors of each port can only operate in their own port areas, and rarely go to other ports, unless there is something special and need the help of other sailors, but this kind of thing will generally have a document to notify the other party in advance to prepare, and will not visit suddenly like Li Zhang.

So after Li Zhang's fleet was led to the camp of the sailors, the commander of the box who was in charge of this place was also alarmed, and when Li Zhang asked people to report their identities, the other party immediately ran to greet them in person, but when he saw this commander of the box, Li Zhang couldn't help frowning.

The commander of the Quanzhou Navy is surnamed Yu, but this commander does not have the slightest demeanor of a general, the whole person is white and fat, with a smile on his face all the time, he looks more like an ordinary businessman, and even when he came to see him, this commander was so tired that he was panting, and he only ran a few steps to become like this, and he didn't look like a military general at all.

"The last general has seen the Marquis of Dingbei, and he has long heard of your name, and the last general has long been yearning for it, and it is really worthy of the name when I see it today!" When the commander saw Li Zhang, he immediately stepped forward and saluted very enthusiastically, although he was in control of the military power, he only had the right to train troops in peacetime, and the power to transfer the army was in the Privy Council, but Li Zhang was ordered to come this time, but he had the right to transfer the garrison, including the Quanzhou Naval Division, so now this general is also temporarily under the command of Li Zhang.

"General Yu is polite, this time Ben Hou also has something to do in Quanzhou, and he may need the assistance of your sailors at that time, I hope you are also prepared!" Li Zhang said and took out a document, which was written by Zhao Zhen himself, and handed it to the Privy Council for approval, so that he could mobilize the local troops.

After reading this document, Commander Yu immediately patted his chest and promised: "Dingbei Hou rest assured, the last general will let the whole army prepare, as long as you receive your order, immediately transfer troops to wait for your dispatch!" ”

Li Zhang nodded noncommittally when he heard this, and then ordered someone to move the luggage on the ship, and the soldiers of the forbidden army brought by him also got off the ship together, as for the sailors from Hangzhou who commanded Hu, they were temporarily placed in the camp to rest, and Li Zhang may need them in the future.

Just when Li Zhang got off the ship, the local officials in Quanzhou were also notified, and Li Zhang did not plan to keep his itinerary secret, after all, he brought so many people and came through official channels, so he couldn't hide the news at all.

Soon the local officials came to greet them, Quanzhou belongs to one of the 23 roads of the Great Song Dynasty Fujian Road, the seat of Fujian Road is in Fuzhou, where it is also a prosperous port, but it is worse than Quanzhou, so there were many people who proposed to move the Fujian Road office to Quanzhou, but for various reasons did not happen.

These officials who came to greet him were headed by Quanzhou Zhizhou, this Zhizhou surnamed Sun, was a middle-aged man with a good appearance, and when he saw Li Zhang, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Sun Li pays a visit to Dingbei Hou!" ”

"Sun Zhizhou doesn't have to be polite, this official came to Quanzhou on business, and I hope that Sun Zhizhou will assist Ben Hou!" Li Zhang said with a smile, at this time, he had been welcomed by Commander Yu to the living room of the sailor camp, instead of staying at the dock to blow the wind.

"Dingbei Hou is polite, if there is anything you can order!" Sun Zhizhou immediately said very politely, and at this time, other officials also stepped forward to salute, Sun Zhizhou also introduced on the side, and Li Zhang also smiled and exchanged a few words with these officials.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a eunuch come forward with a smile on his face and salute: "Slave and maid Ma Fengjie see Hou Ye!" ”

Li Zhang has already seen this Ma Fengjie, after all, he is the only one among the officials who is wearing eunuch clothes, and he sees that the other party is slightly fat, white and beardless, and looks a little similar to the commander, the smile on his face seems to be harmless to humans and animals, and when he sees Li Zhang, he shows a flattering smile, after all, he is a eunuch, that is, the emperor's house slave, and Li Zhang is half his master.

"You're Ma Fengjie?" Li Zhang looked each other up and down a few times, and the smile on his face gradually faded, which also made the atmosphere in the entire living room become solemn all of a sudden.

Ma Fengjie also felt a little wrong at this time, because he didn't know that Li Zhang was coming at him, in fact, Li Zhang's coming to Quanzhou this time was also very sudden, and Zhao Zhen's side also temporarily blocked the news, so Ma Fengjie didn't know that Dong Qing had sued him, and even the godfather Huang Qiu behind him had fallen now.

"Slave...... The slave maid is Ma Fengjie, I don't know what the Hou Ye has to say? Although Ma Fengjie felt wrong, he still spoke calmly at this time, but a few obvious cold sweats appeared on his forehead, as for Sun Zhizhou and other magistrates next to him, they also saw that something was wrong at this time, which made them all have different expressions, some were nervous and some sneered.

After Li Zhang looked at Ma Fengjie for a while, this also put a lot of pressure on the other party, and finally saw Li Zhang sneer and finally spoke: "Your courage is not small, you dare to bribe the court, Huang Qiu has already sued you, Your Majesty has a decree, put Ma Fengjie in prison and send him back to the capital to listen to Hou Fa's fate!" ”

With Li Zhang's order, those guards from the capital also immediately stepped forward and directly kicked Ma Fengjie to the ground and tied him up, this kind of change also made everyone around change color, although they also guessed that Ma Fengjie was going to be unlucky, but they didn't expect Li Zhang to act so domineering, just got off the boat to put Ma Fengjie, the eunuch who was promoted, into prison.
