Previous Chapter: Chapter 378 The First Arsenal Next Chapter: Chapter 480 I'll Give You All I Have

Every morning, one of the things Li Mao must do is to listen to Chang Mucang's report on the situation in the world, Liaodong and the surrounding areas, Liaodong is geographically remote, the news is blocked, and there is a time difference in the grasp of the general trend of the world, about ten days, and there are two sources: Chen Shu of Chang'an and Tonghutou of Ziqing. There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's a lot more stable than the general station.,It's faster than the update.,There's no ads in the whole text.。

Unlike the sluggishness of the Guannei, Li Mao's information channels are already very rich and smooth for Liaodong, especially in the area under his control, and Li Mao has efficient and reliable sources of information among the allies of the several major forces that may directly affect Liaodong, which will take a lot of mental and financial resources, but Li Mao believes that it is worth it.

"Liu Ji's crusade plan was forced to be postponed because of the Zhu clan in Yingzhou, and the military strength of the southern front of the Diera Department has begun to return to the defense, and is moving towards the area of the Liangdan River, and the troops gathered here have exceeded 30,000, and we speculate that it may be necessary to attack the Kazan Department, and the time may be in the autumn."

"It seems necessary to remind our allies that Dierabu is a wolf, not a reservoir dog. Dogs can only bark at people, but wolves want to bite people, and they are mouthful, and they will kill people. ”

"The Kazan Department took advantage of the confrontation between Liu Ji and the Khitan, annexed several tribes of the Xi people and some scattered people, and also became a piece with the forest Yemurwei people, and now they are strong and strong, can you let them touch the Khitan people and try two catties"

Li Mao shook his hand: "I can't try it, the terrain around the Liangdan River is open and flat, which is suitable for the cavalry of the large corps to fight, and the Khitan people want to solve their worries, it will be a thunderous blow, and they can't bear the Sprite." Once the Kazan Department is destroyed, the Khitan will have no worries, and when the time comes, it will not be Liu Ji who will trouble him, but he will go to Liu Ji to trouble. ”

"Youzhou City is high and deep, and the Khitans will not bargain. When two tigers fight, one will be injured, and it will be in my favor. Sugar Hua"

"Wouldn't that be cheap, once Zhu Huiying Prefecture joins forces with the Khitans, it will definitely not be a blessing for me in Liaodong."

Chang Mu Cang said: "I'll inform Sprite." ”

Li Mao said: "Let Qin Mo go on a trip in person, didn't he still say that Sprite is a woman, let him go and identify it." ”

Chang Mukura, who has always been unsmiling, also grinned, and his deputy Qin Mo got the news from somewhere, and identified Xue Bihua, the leader of the Murowei Kashan Department and the leader of the Six Divisions, as a daughter, and said that she was the illegitimate daughter of Meng Dun.

This explosive news made Qin Mo famous in the spy system, and no one knew the name of Chief Qin for a while, and the news reached Li Mao's ears, and Li Mao ordered him to go on a long trip to Beisha City to avoid the limelight and maintain his image.

When the first batch of weapons of the Ordnance Institute left the factory, Li Mao announced his plan for the expansion of the army in the near future: to expand the original inland water army by five times, and to realize the strategic idea of controlling the entire Liaodong Plain with the Liao River as the axis.

The two states of East and Gao are built between the rivers, the main strongholds of the Han people in Liaodong are distributed on both sides of the Liaohe River and coastal areas, it is urgent to build a strong inland water army, with such an undefeated fleet, the power of Donggao Town can go straight to the heart of the Khitan people to the north, and to the south can get in touch with the coastal pirate groups, which is not only beneficial to trade, but also can achieve a favorable situation in strategy.

In this way, the recovery of Liaodong is just around the corner, and Li Mao's Liaodong economic envoy can also live up to his name.

To build a naval army, it is necessary to have a ship, and shipbuilding must not only have money and materials, but also mature technical support, and the existing strength of Liaodong Shipyard can only manufacture small inland river ships to meet the short-distance transportation and cruising on the river, and the warships it has cannot achieve an overwhelming advantage over the rafts of the Khitans, the canoes of the Murowei people, and the warships of the Hanmin fortress.

In addition to a section of Donggao Town, the Qianli Liao River is still in the stage of competing for hegemony.

Previously, Li Mao sent Qin Mo with his own handwritten letter to Beisha City to ask Sang Rong for help, and Sang Rong persuaded him to ask Ziqing for help.

In terms of shipbuilding capacity, Datang's Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Runzhou, and Dengzhou are all strong and experienced. Quanzhou's fortune ship, Guangzhou's Guangzhou ship is famous all over the world. Runzhou mainly manufactures inland waterway vessels, and Dengzhou has both, mainly large ocean-going vessels, and has rich experience in manufacturing inland waterway vessels.

Runzhou was too far away and had no acquaintances, Li Mao set his sights on Dengzhou, and he wrote a long letter to Su Qing, hoping to get help from his wife. Su Qing quickly replied, she suggested that Li Mao ask Chang'an for help, Li Shidao was very jealous of Li Mao's rise in Liaodong, and took advantage of the leakage of Liaodong geological and mining maps to deal with several copper tiger head managers, and now Tong Hutou is cautious about dealing with Liaodong.

Without the cooperation of the copper tiger head, it is not easy to poach the right talent from Dengzhou Shipyard.

Su Qing's letter was like an official reply, written dryly, and Li Mao secretly cried after reading it.

The road to Dengzhou can't go through, so you can only go to the near and far, whether to send people directly to Runzhou to poach people with high salaries, or to detour to Chang'an to achieve your wish by the hand of the Son of Heaven, Li Maoli ignored public opinion on this issue and chose the latter.

Liaodong's cause has a small scale, and it is obviously unrealistic to hide in the depths of the boudoir, and it is time to restore relations with Chang'an.

Li Mao wrote a letter to Lin Ying, who was far away in Chang'an, asking him to forward it to Li Jie, the king of Song, who then forwarded it to Li Chun, the son of heaven. After the Longxiang Army around Chang'an was reorganized into the Longxiang Battalion and merged into the Shence Army, Lin Ying's power did not decline but rose, and he became the absolute leader of the Longxiang Battalion, and now he is a hot and red person in front of the Son of Heaven.

If Li Maoruo asks for help from others, it is difficult to ensure that he will not get in the way, but directly write the letter to him, believing that he will handle it seriously.

Lin Ying read the letter written by Li Mao to him, read it three times in a row, and was stunned for a while after reading it, before he opened another letter in the envelope, which Li Mao asked him to hand over to Li Jie, the king of Song.

There was also a letter hidden in Li Mao's letter to Li Jie, indicating that it was Cheng Datian listening, Lin Ying hesitated, he didn't dare to open it, he only read Li Mao's letter to Li Jie, sealed it after reading it, and sent someone to send it to Li Jie. The unpacking is so seamless that the layman can't see it at all.

Li Jie had traveled all over the world, in the south of the Yangtze River for many days, was no stranger to the boat yard in Runzhou, after reading Li Mao's letter for help, he summoned the staff who were familiar with the boat yard to do some homework first, and then entered the palace to meet Li Chun.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the phenomenon of the royal kings serving as officials in the court and the local area was very common, which caused all kinds of troubles, and by the time of Xuanzong, the royal family was greatly reduced, and the princes and grandsons lived in the capital when they became adults, and no longer sent the local officials out. The prince held fewer and fewer positions in the court, but the Anshi Rebellion changed all this, and after the chaos, the clan led troops to fight against thieves and guard the place, and there was no shortage of royal relatives in the court.

After the turmoil, the power of the clan was suppressed again, and after Li Chun ascended the throne, the prince had many false titles and no real positions. Li Jie is now the ambassador of Fengxiang Jiedu, and according to the official system, his ambassador does not need to go to Fengxiang in person, but the deputy ambassador and the governor of the festival are in charge of the real power of the military town, and the deputy ambassador and the governor of the festival are commonly known as the envoys of the festival.

Although he has no real power, because of his close relationship with Li Chun, he has the right to face the saint.

This privilege was given to Li Chungang when he ascended the throne six years ago, and six years have passed, and now it doesn't count, Li Jie actually has no bottom in his heart.

Last winter, Tutu Chenghuang was demoted to an ordinary palace slave for drunken murder when he was appointed as the Huainan Prison Army, and Liu Xiguang was involved in the Shannan Supervision Army, and now he is accompanied by Wang Shoucheng, the former Lingnan Jiedu envoy.

Wang Shoucheng and Li Mao have a grudge, Li Jie doesn't want to face the saint through him, and is trying to find another way, but the opportunity comes. Li Chun wants to play in Xiyuan and invites Li to have fun.

Li Jie was neatly draped and went to the Hanguang Hall next to the Xiyuan Polo Stadium to see the car, and the ball was played until the red sun fell to the west.

The Shenlong team swept the opponent again, Li Chun's cheeks were rosy and his eyes were shining, and he walked into the side hall to bathe and change clothes, still excitedly commenting on the performance of everyone in the field, Li Jie took the opportunity to suggest that the meritorious personnel should be rewarded and the slacking personnel should be punished.

In the past, the victory was mainly based on reward, and the real money and silver were rewarded, and everyone shouted long live, and everyone was happy.

It is not without precedent to punish those who are slacker, but it has not been used for a long time.

Li Chun thought for a while and said: "There are rewards and punishments to stimulate morale, King Song's idea is very good, there are a few slacking people, like Wang Sanli, Chen Jingtang, Gong Li, and Liang Tan, yes, especially this Liang Tan, always let me, let it be too fake, everyone knows that he is patting my ass, it's really not like words." ”

Wang Shoucheng frowned and asked softly, "Please make it clear how you should be punished." ”

Li Chun said impatiently when he heard this: "This is also annoying, think about it yourself." ”

Wang Shoucheng smiled and stepped back satisfied. Li Jie has always had a gentle smile on his face, but he sweated for his royal brother in his heart, Wang Shoucheng, the old eunuch, is good at observing words and feelings, creating opportunities, and there is a precedent for how to reward and punish players, he really has to take advantage of the impatience of the Son of Heaven to ask for authorization, with Li Chun's words, he can be powerful and manipulate people at will.

Li Chun said that he wanted to punish Wang Sanli, Chen Jingtang, Gong Li and Liang Tan for slacking off, which was nothing more than to make them make a fool and admit their mistakes, beat them, and commit crimes in Wang Shoucheng's hands but didn't know how to toss them.

deceived the upper and lower levels, and set up the sky, and the affairs of the country were slowly ruined by these people.
