Chapter 45 The general is a desperate plan

Qi Kingdom, Lingyang City, Royal Palace

King Qi looked at the entire map, put his index finger and middle finger together and pointed at the Jiangmen City above, and then, along the Chu Shui, he looked around, he knew that Jiangmen City was a very important place in the entire layout of Chen Zichen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Zichen's recital was placed on his book case, he read it several times, and there was really no reason to object, Chen Zichen learned a lot of things this time, and he considered the problem comprehensively.

There are less than two years left before the Xishan Covenant is coming to an end, and the Qi State has no plan for the end at all, but the Chu State, the Tang State, the Qin State, and even the Wang and Gao Clans are all ready, and only the Qi State has no action.

As the lord of a country, how could he have thought so, but he couldn't make Lingyang, and Yang was against Yin, and such things abounded.

Yu Dehai looked at his master with some concern, since Chen Zichen's recital was sent, King Qi has not stopped, and has been thinking about something.

King Qi seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head to Yu Dehai and ordered, "You go and quietly invite Ma Daoyuan, the secretary of the household department, Xu Yuanqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Song Zhiyuan, the secretary of the criminal department, to come over, and say that the widow has something important to discuss." ”

Yu Dehai muttered in his heart, he didn't know what King Qi wanted to do, but he still resolutely implemented King Qi's words.

"Slowly, by the way, I will also invite Uncle Zhongyong." King Qi said to Yu Dehai, who was retreating.

It is not surprising that the four of them received a summons from King Qi, but it is unthinkable that they received a summons at the same time. Especially when the four of them walked into King Qi's study one after another.

"What do you think?" King Qi looked at the four ministers who had been invited and asked slowly.

The four of them glanced at each other, and none of them had the desire to express their opinions first, but it seemed that the three departments looked at Chen Fudao at the same time as if they had unified their opinions.

Chen Fudao secretly said that there is no way, his son is too capable of tossing, the navy has not been taken seriously since ancient times, and now the war is about to break out, everyone is thinking about how to improve the morale and combat ability of the soldiers, basically relying on the infantry, and the navy has little effect.

Now Chen Zichen proposed to build a naval army, which made him a little embarrassed, which involved a lot of trivial matters, first of all, it was not easy for the military department, and then, Chen Fudao looked at Ma Daoyuan, the secretary of the household department, and he knew that it was also difficult for the household department to pass the test.

How can the 'old disease' left over from more than 100 years be so easy to solve?

But Chen Fudao is also unwilling to give up such an opportunity, the three major families have been behind the scenes of Qi for a long time, although the roots are huge, but the penetration of the army is very weak, which is also the reason for hesitating to pay a huge amount of military salary, so that people dare not raise troops easily.

Looking at the general trend of the world, now only by supporting troops can we protect ourselves, otherwise there will be chaos.

Chen Fudao thought about it again and again and said: "The king, the minister thinks that he can give it a try, but he must be cautious, the army is related to the country's plan, and it cannot be easily decided. ”

King Qi heard Chen Fudao say this, nodded, he thought about this matter again and again, and then summoned them, now that King Qi's mind has been decided, now it depends on the reaction of these people.

Seeing that King Qi set his eyes on himself, Ma Daoyuan knew that he couldn't hide, although he and Chen Zichen had an unpleasant quarrel about the marriage of the alliance last time, but although he was in the official household department this time, he still had some worries.

As the secretary of the household department, the military salary he allocated to the military department every year was always a little deductible, but it did not affect the overall situation, but Chen Zichen's twists and turns made his heart tremble.

He also knew that the navy was not welcomed, but he had never seen the real situation, so presumably there was no need for Chen Zichen to make a false report in this matter.

Now Chen Zichen suggested the establishment of a naval army camp, and the military salary was not sent to the military department, but directly handed over to the naval army camp, which made him a little embarrassed, originally Qi was not very rich over the years, and if a new army was added, it would be a big expense, Ma Daoyuan did not speak easily.

After thinking about it again, Ma Daoyuan said: "King, in fact, Chen Zichen's statement is not wrong, but it is still too large to train 100,000 sailors at once, and it needs to be negotiated well. I also hope that the king will think twice. ”

"Then Ma Aiqing, what do you think is the right scale?" King Qi tilted his head and asked Ma Daoyuan.

He was acceptable to Ma Daoyuan's answer just now, Ma Daoyuan did not deny it, nor did he accept the next two, indicating that he still had scruples, but there was no problem with the overall direction of this matter.

"King, this matter, please go back and think about it, and strive to make a name for the king to see." Ma Daoyuan can't say it himself now, although he has his own plans, he is still serious about what he wants to do.

King Qi nodded, four people came, and both of them spoke, only Xu Yuanqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Song Zhiyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not speak.

"The king, this matter has nothing to do with my criminal department, so the minister will not be involved, but as a member of the cabinet, the minister still advises the king to think twice before acting." Song Zhiyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said lightly.

He was persuaded by King Qi, and they all knew that King Qi had actually made a decision in his heart, but this matter was not trivial, it was not easy to control, but it was extremely easy to have an accident.

King Qi didn't say anything, he was listening, he knew the strategic deployment that he had seen, these courtiers didn't understand, and they couldn't help but feel a little angry when they thought of this, but they were relieved when they thought about it.

The four people called by King Qi, in King Qi's opinion, they are all neutral, and it may be easier to communicate, secondly, he also wants to try their attitude, and thirdly, he can also spread things through their mouths to see if there is any reaction.

"Xu Aiqing, why don't you speak?" King Qi set his sights on the last person.

Xu Yuanqing secretly said that it was finally his turn, he was also thinking about Chen Zichen's suggestion just now, but he also saw the sinister in it.

Many people ignored the crimes mentioned in the memorization about the crimes committed by the city lord of Jiangmen City, but Xu Yuanqing did not ignore it, because Xu Yuanqing saw a strong smell of blood in it.

Xu Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, "The king, I am still optimistic about Lord Chen, but I still hope that the king will think twice about this matter, but the minister resolutely supports the king's decision." ”

The four of them said their thoughts one by one, and they were all ambiguous, but they at least had an attitude here, and King Qi didn't blame much, and the political affairs were still relatively complicated.

A few people had a long talk again....

.......

Jiangmen City, Navy Camp

Chen Zichen pointed to the distribution map of Chu Shui, looking at the various waterways that Chu Shui had discovered, he couldn't help but have a little headache, Du Bantian's water village was burned, it stands to reason that Du Bantian should be wandering around Chushui outside, or hiding somewhere, but Chen Zichen ordered Han Li to inspect it in person, and found nothing.

Suspicious, very suspicious.

Could it be that Du can't fly in half a day?

Chen Zichen naturally denied the idea that Du Bantian could fly, he could be sure that Du Bantian must still have a place to stay, and it was likely not in the waters of Qi State.

If it is not the waters of the Qi State, then it must be the waters of the Chu State, and when he thinks of this, Chen Zichen is a little difficult to do.

While Chen Zichen was thinking about his research, Han Li and Lu Huan came together.

Chen Zichen glanced at the two of them and said, "What? What did you find? ”

Han Li and Lu Huan glanced at each other, and then Han Li said, "Yes, we have found that there have been people haunting and watching near Jiangmen City in the past few days, it is very likely that they are water bandits, and there are not a few of them. ”

Chen Zichen glanced at Lu Huan, and when he saw Lu Huan nodding, he asked, "Just by someone probing, you can determine that there are a lot of bandits?" ”

"General, we vaguely spotted the big ship." Han Li said.

"Huh?" Chen Zichen's eyes swept over Han Li, then stared at the topographic map, stood up and said, "Recently, we haven't found Du Bantian's whereabouts, but now they sent them to the door themselves. As he spoke, he smiled at the two of them.

"Oh? What is the general's plan?" Lu Huan asked.

"I ask you, where are the bandits used to staying?" Chen Zichen asked lightly.

Han Li replied casually, "Of course, it's the reeds on the Chu River, they rely on their familiarity with the terrain and the dense reeds, so it's easy to escape. ”

"That's right, this time we let them come and go, let them take us to find Du for half a day." Chen Zichen said with a smile.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two people, Chen Zichen continued: "I didn't think of this method before, but this time we must not let them slip away, Lu Huan, you take someone to set fire to this piece of reeds, Han Li, you burn it from this side, and set fire to both sides at the same time, you just need to wait for the rabbit." ”

Han Li glanced at Lu Huan, looked at Chen Zichen and said, "General, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, arson to the lake, after all, the impact is not good." ”

"It's okay, for the sake of Qi country, this fire must be put out." Chen Zichen said sonorously.

"Haha, the general is going to cut off the back road of the water bandits, from now on, if the water bandits come by boat, there will be no obstacles at all." Lu Huan said with a smile.

Han Li nodded, Chen Zichen's method was the simplest and most effective method.

A raging fire is about to ignite ......
