Chapter 256: Nautical Academy
More than half of the Xuanwu guards stationed in the Mae Tuo Lake Governor's Mansion lost more than half of their troops, and Wang Hu was removed from his post and escorted back to Pyongyang for questioning, and he was temporarily appointed by Governor Guan Yuan.

On the issue of replenishing the source of troops, Li Yu's order to Guan Yuan was to select young and strong people from among the nearby people who had moved to the territory of the Meituohu Governor's Mansion to join the army and replenish the number of 3,000 soldiers.
Wang Hu knelt in the hall in frustration without saying a word, and rashly launched an attack on the Black Water Warrior tribes in order to be greedy for meritorious deeds, causing more than half of his subordinates to lose more than half of the battle. Even if His Highness pushes him out and beheads him now, there is no complaint.
The casualties of more than 1,800 soldiers are all his own descendants, Li Yu's heart is dripping with blood, and he naturally has no good face for Wang Hu. He said in a stiff and cold tone: "Do you know what this king has done to you?" ”
Wang Hu raised his head, and replied with a haggard face: "My subordinates know." ”
"I hope you can learn from the past and make meritorious contributions, promise to be able to level Hokkaido for the country, not only can you be reinstated, but this king will also ask for a seal for you in front of His Majesty, so you can do it yourself!"
"Thank you Your Highness for your love, without Your Highness, how can there be Wang Hu who led the army to fight before, Wang Hu is ashamed of His Highness's cultivation." Wang Hu kowtowed to Li Yu three times, and said with a firm expression: "My subordinates will go to Hokkaido to fulfill His Highness's wish, and if he can't make a promise, he will not return to Datang for the rest of his life." ”
"It's good to have this determination, and this king looks forward to your good news."
Li Yu's attitude was relaxed, and he remembered for a moment that Wang Hu was illiterate before, and later sent someone to teach him to read, but he forgot about it in the past few years, and asked: "How many words can you know now?" ”
Wang Hu grabbed his hair with one hand and replied with an embarrassed expression: "It seems that I can read a hundred words......
"Bang." Li Yu snapped at the case, and his face turned extremely blue when he finally eased, and asked, "Have you been a pig in the past few years?" A hundred words a child can read in a few days, and your husband seems to know it in a few years? What about the people who were sent to teach you to read? Call him. ”
"He ......" Wang Hu hesitated for a long time, and then said when he saw that His Highness Tie Qing's face was about to explode: "He died in the night attack of the Goguryeo people under the Marudu Castle the year before last. ”
"Hah!" Li Yu laughed angrily and scolded loudly: "Get out, you will be illiterate in this life." ”
Wang Hu ran away like an amnesty, and when he left the palace, he laughed with relief, muttering: "It's actually good to be illiterate!" ”
"Bastard, the man sent to teach him to read and write will not report it if he dies!" Li Yu hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded, he had no force but no brains.
"Giggles......" Xin'er, who had been behind the scenes for a long time, covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard the voice, came behind Li Yu and pinched his shoulders and smiled: "Wang Hu has a lot of nerves, why should Jun be embarrassed for him?" ”
"But he's also a general, and he can't read?" Li Yu said angrily.
"The slave family remembers that Jun Jun has reduced Wang Hu to a small soldier, and the little soldier still needs to know what to read."
Li Yu shook his head and said: "Although he has no official status, I demoted him to Hokkaido not as a small soldier, but as the deputy of Yuan Zuo, the pioneer of Hokkaido." ”
……
Li Yu closed his eyes depressedly and enjoyed Xin'er's massage, put Wang Hu's matter behind him, and thought about the progress of overseas development.
If there is no mistake in the direction of history, there will be more than 11 years before the death of his father, and once he loses his backer, he will not be able to live in peace like today. But at present, the plan has only taken the first step, and it is not known what year and month the Nanyang Islands will be pacified.
"Xin'er, what do you think I should do if I raise troops to the South Seas now?" Li Yuxun asked.
Xin'er pursed Yin Hong's lips and pretended to think deeply, with her delicate face, she was a little silly and cute, and then said helplessly: "Jun Xun, we don't have enough boats." ”
Li Yu covered his forehead and said in a tangled manner: "The boat is really not enough, it is to transport immigrants and troops, it seems that after increasing troops to the Taiwan Governor's Mansion this time, Jiaolong HNA will not have a few boats left." ”
"Didn't Jun want to get a thousand warships of all kinds from the imperial court when he conquered Goguryeo?"
"Whew......" Li Yu slapped his head and said in annoyance: "I forgot about this." ”
When he was in Beijing, he forgot such an important matter, and Li Yu had nothing but regret that he hurried to remedy it. Under Xin'er's speechless gaze, he wrote a book of recitals, and the emperor requested that the surplus boats in the water villages along the southeast coast be allocated to him.
It is not enough to have a ship, but it is necessary to have a skilled shipwright and a master of fire who is proficient in navigation (the captain of fire is now called a "navigator") and the captain of the ship.
Although Jiaolong HNA has been recruiting shipwrights and captains, talents such as captains who run on the sea all year round are difficult to recruit in addition to shipwrights, but it is difficult to recruit captains and captains who can run on the far sea.
Li Yu thought that he should open a navigation school on his own to train special sailing captains, captains and other technical talents.
As soon as he finished writing the recital, Li Yu couldn't wait to draw up an order, and Xie Yue, the director of Jiaolong HNNA, opened the Anton Navigation Academy in Duli Town, recruiting students to train the teaching of boating, positioning and compass for sea stargazing, using and drawing navigation charts, etc., and selected personnel from the Royal Surveying and Mapping Department to teach relevant skills in the college.
In the first phase of Andong Navigation Academy, Li Yu gave Xie Yue the task of training 1,000 students within a year, as for where did the students come from?
1. The young people who were adopted in the homes of the victims in Guanzhong and the Central Plains in the first year of Xianheng can be directly dispatched from the palace as students; Second, in the name of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, intelligent young people were selected from the homes of the people who participated in the Andong Pioneer Group; 3. Advertised recruitment in the Royal Weekly, spread all over the country. In addition, the royal commercial banks that opened branches in Yang, Run, Hangzhou, Vietnam, Quan, Guangzhou and other prefectures in Dengzhou, Huainan, Jiangnan and Lingnan provinces were ordered to act as the recruitment office of the Maritime College and organize recruitment.
The ancient techniques of sea navigation have always been passed down from the maritime merchant family, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to master. A shipping route and a nautical chart are treasures that have been cherished for generations. In sea voyages, charts are only in the hands of the captain. Even if it is the helmsman and others, they can't master the whole voyage. Because they don't know how to identify directions, let alone locate, they don't even know where they are.
When the news of Andong Navigation Academy's recruitment of students to teach navigation-related knowledge spread to the coastal prefectures and counties of Huainan, Jiangnan, Lingnan and other places, there must be many self-motivated young people who are engaged in sea manoeuvring and come to study.
Since he wants to run a navigation academy, Li Yu still has to plan well, and at this moment, the attendant entered the palace with a copy of the recital: "Your Highness, Cheng Boxian, the governor of the Heishui Governor's Mansion, has arrived." ”
Li Yu opened the book presented by the attendant and looked at it, and sneered: "The strength of the county department is not strong, but the courage is not small. ”
Xin'er came over curiously to take a look, and was surprised: "It turns out that the missing North Road Expedition was captured by the Junli Department!" What is Xun Jun going to do? ”
"There's nothing else but a crusade."
Judging from the news brought back by Xiao Daoyan last year, the strength of the county department is not strong, and there are more than 1,800 soldiers who can fight, and they belong to the weaker ones among the Heishui Sects. Since he dared to arrest the king's subordinates, he might as well use this as an excuse to take the opportunity to level him.
The Si Zhao Department please descend, and then level the Junli Department, the Heishui River Basin will be in their own hands from now on, and they can also divide the Heishui Ya tribes into north and south along the Heishui, so that it will be difficult for them to unite again.
The Mogojun and Yulou tribes along the southeast coast of Heishui are all weaker in the Heishui Sect, and the cave tribes on Sakhalin Island are even weaker.
Coupled with the defeat of the Heishui Ministry, the strongest of the Blackwater Tribes, the Blackwater Basin is no longer an irresistible enemy.
Thinking of this, Li Yu approved his plan to crusade against the county in Cheng Bo's dedication, and ordered him to march after the arrival of the Zhenyu army and the construction of Boli City.
Cheng Boxian was rewarded for accepting the surrender of the Ministry of Recruitment, paying tribute to the Protectorate every year, and building a city and sending troops to guard the place where the Ministry of Recruitment.
