Back in the palace, Prime Minister Chen Guoqing took advantage of Xiao Daocheng's rising head and said: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, our Great Song Dynasty has been in constant war, and the treasury has been consumed hugely. ”

Xiao Daocheng frowned, a little unhappy in his heart, but the prime minister's words were also for the sake of the country, and it was inconvenient to attack, so he had to say: "Okay, according to the prime minister's words, as long as other countries do not invade us within two years, I will no longer use troops abroad." ”

Xiao Daocheng only promised to take a two-year truce, which was a bit lower than Chen Guoqing's expectations, but after thinking about it, Xiao Daocheng has been in power for more than 30 years, during which the Great Song Dynasty has been in a situation of passive beating.

Xiao Daocheng is also sixty-two years old this year, although his health looks good, but after all, he is old, and the emperor's profession is full of opportunities, and no one dares to guarantee whether he will be able to maintain his health in two years.

It is already rare to make Xiao Daocheng promise not to use the army for two years, and when he makes excessive demands, that is, he will make trouble for himself, and Chen Guoqing will accept it when he sees it.

At this time, Deng Yuanjue said again: "Your Majesty, with Jizhou County and the two cities of Jingzhou and Huangzhou being included in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, the strategic position of Yuzhou City is no longer as important as before. ”

"Chu State lost Jizhou County, it will definitely not be reconciled, Xiang Tong is now stationed in Xiakou, and we must also prepare early. Wu Teng has been fighting against Chu for twelve years, and he went to Jizhou to serve as an assassin, so that he could grasp the military and politics, and he was also the most suitable candidate. ”

Since appointing Guo Xu as the Taishou of Jeju City two years ago, the Deng family has completed the first step from the army to the locality, and now Deng Yuanjue has proposed to make his descendant general the assassin of Jiju County, which is also very obvious.

Xiao Daocheng secretly calculated in his heart, Jingzhou City is now the forefront of the war against Chu, they have just been included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the local people are still interested in Chu State, if a person who does not understand military affairs is appointed and dismissed to do assassination, once the Chu army comes, Jingzhou may not be able to hold it, from this point of view, Wu Teng is indeed the most suitable candidate.

If it weren't for the appointment of Shi Luo to be promoted to General Wei, it would have been a good choice for him to go to Jizhou to assassinate the history, but now there is no way, Xiao Daocheng had no choice but to say: "According to the general's words, promote Wu Teng to the assassin history of Jizhou County, but the capital Jizhou City is too far away from Xiakou, and it is inconvenient for Wu Teng to build fortifications, I think I will let Wu Tingshi temporarily garrison troops in Jingzhou, and then appoint another person to sit in Jizhou and be responsible for daily government affairs, what do you think, general?" ”

What else can Deng Yuanjue say, he can only accept this discounted appointment, as long as the military power is in Wu Teng's hands, what can a person do out of the ordinary.

Xiao Daocheng thought about it, and then appointed Chen Mingjing of the Chen family as the other driver of Jizhou County. This Chen Mingjing is Chen Guoqing's nephew, and now after the fall of the Tian family, only the strength of the Chen family can be compared with the Deng family, and the appointment of the Chen family is also a kind of containment of the Deng family.

After discussing the personnel arrangements in Jizhou, Shi Luosheng said again: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to go to Xianghu with the leading general to garrison for a year, the navy has become an indispensable branch of the army in future wars, although we defeated the Qi army last time, there is still an obvious gap in military strength." In the next two years, our Great Song Dynasty does not plan to use troops, and the minister wants to take advantage of this time to train a naval army that is not weaker than that of Qi. ”

Xiao Dao didn't want Shi Luosheng to leave Jianye at this time, he also planned to deal with the family next, having Shi Luosheng by his side was also a help, but it was also urgent to train the navy, last time Yan Guo was attacked by Qi because the navy was too weak, and the national capital was almost lost.

Xiao Daocheng hesitated for a while and said: "In this way, you and General Liu will go to Xianghu to garrison for half a year, and after half a year, we will see the training results of the naval army and then decide whether you want to stay or not." ”

After speaking, Xiao Daocheng joked again: "Luosheng, there are still many things to deal with in the imperial court now, you can't take the burden now and hide in Xianghu Lake to enjoy Qingfu." ”

The meaning of these words is also obvious, I have to deal with the family next, you kid don't think about staying out of the matter, the water army training achievements will come back to me immediately.

Although Shi Luosheng also has the idea of avoiding the dispute between the royal family and the family, the main purpose of applying to go to Xianghu this time is to make a half-year appointment with Jiang Huanyan, and laying down Naha City is the most important thing for Shi Luosheng at present.

If you stay in Jianye, so many pairs of eyes are staring at you, it is inconvenient to do anything. Although half a year is a bit urgent, it is enough to plan well.

This trip to Xianghu is related to the future development of Changxing Island, in addition to Liu Zixuan, Shi Luosheng also deliberately brought Wang Lun with him, every time he goes to the battlefield, he can feel a lot more at ease with Wang Lun by his side.

After the three of them arrived at Xianghu Lake, they explained their intentions to Huang Songsheng, and they did not hide from him about the bottom stone of Changxing Island.

Huang Songsheng actually saw from Ling Zhen's attitude towards Shi Luosheng that this Changxing Island may be the foundation of Shi Luosheng.

Huang Songsheng said: "The naval army of the Great Song Dynasty was established by you, the general, and the general is going to fight Naha, and the last general will lead the troops to help." ”

The navy is no better than the army, and the army has a slightly large-scale troop movement, and Xiao Daocheng immediately knew about it. But in the vast sea, it is different, the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty was originally under the control of Shi Luosheng, Huang Songsheng sent a naval army to the sea, as long as it is sea training to the imperial court, who can distinguish the authenticity?

Shi Luosheng said: "We are scheduled to send troops to Naha in three months, and I will have to contact the Nujiao Gang during this time, after all, they are from the Qi country, and it is not convenient to come to Xianghu Water Village." In order to avoid people's eyes, I still stayed on Changxing Island, and the training of the Xianghu Water Army was entrusted to the general. ”

Huang Songsheng clenched his hands into fists: "General, don't worry, in three months, the last general will definitely train a naval army that can win battles." ”

Shi Luosheng nodded with satisfaction, said a few more words, and then went to Changxing Island with Liu Zixuan and Wang Lun.

"Master, is there any news from Mr. Shi and Uncle Hua?" Shi Yu also went to Naha City with Hua Haoxuan, and now Zu Qingzhi is in charge of the daily work on Changxing Island.

Zu Qingzhi said: "I just received a letter from Senior Brother Hua a few days ago, and they have now figured out the living habits of Takenaka Chongzhi, and when we send troops, they will find an opportunity to capture Takenaka Chongzhi alive." In addition, Xingjiu Baimu's martial arts, Senior Brother Hua has also seen it, although it is very good, but Senior Brother Hua is sure to take him down within thirty moves. Therefore, Mr. Shi suggested that after they captured Zhuzhong and re-ruled him, Yin Thief Li and Ji Luer would escort him back first, and Senior Brother Hua would stay in the city and choose the opportunity to attack Xingjiu Baimu again. ”

Shi Luosheng nodded, and asked again: "Even if Uncle Hua's martial arts can't take down Xingjiu Baimu, it should be no problem to retreat." By the way, how is the training of our sailors on Changxing Island now? ”

Zu Qingzhi said: "Ling Zhen has been training at sea for the past two months, and Wan'er's child also asked his third brother to select a group of elite soldiers from the Nujiao Gang, and now they are all promoted by Ling Zhen to grassroots officers and train with recruits." ”
