Chapter 541: The Meaning of the Water Master

Feeling Zhao Yougong's scorching gaze, Ah Jiuxiao's face turned red and lowered his head happily. The eyelids blink and the long eyelashes are extraordinarily cute. If Wang Yuyan is the most beautiful woman, then Ah Jiu is the most spoiled porcelain doll in the world.

I don't know what I remembered, Ah Jiu raised her head, her bright big eyes were full of cunning, she blinked, her little hand groped in her arms, and untied a golden string, and a key was tied to the rope, "Childe, give"

took the key, just looked at it, Zhao Yougong almost hit his head on the stone. The familiar key is only engraved with the word "E" on it. What's going on, I just got the key with the word E from Qi Cang's hand, why did I come out with another one now?

"Stinky girl, what's going on?"

"Hehe, that's a fake, I thought it was funny back then, so I left it on my body as an ornament, and I made a fake one to fool my brother. As a result, he was later captured by Nie Mazi, and his brother never knew about it, and later saw that if Gongzi was interested, he planned to wait for the last surprise to Gongzi, but now, I am afraid that the fake one will be mistaken for Gongzi! ”

Zhao Yougong looked at the bright little face in front of him, and suddenly smiled bitterly, no wonder Sakura always said that Ah Jiu was a ghost girl, a ghost and a ghost, which made people unguardable. Holding Ah Jiu's little hand back to the room, the two of them turned on the light, Ah Jiu pointed to the two keys, and slowly said the differences, after Ah Jiu's guidance, Zhao Yougong found that although the patterns on the two keys were roughly the same, there was an extra vein on the fake key. Such a subtle difference, if Ah Jiu, the initiator, hadn't pointed it out, he really wouldn't have found it.

Reach out and poke Ah Jiu's forehead. A wry smile on his face. "You stinky girl. It's bad! ”

"Hee-hee" Ah Jiu tugged on Zhao Yougong's sleeve and pouted, as if there was something sad, "Childe, Xiao Jiu won't leave, I will follow you for the rest of my life!" ”

Listening to Ah Jiu's words, Zhao Yougong couldn't help frowning, "You girl." If you don't want to go, you won't leave, but Murong Prefect's mansion, can you be willing to go? ”

"No matter, if he doesn't allow it, hit him!" Ah Jiu was a little fierce, and then sneered, revealing a mouth full of small white teeth, Zhao Yougong was also amused by her, shaking his head and secretly sighing that Murong Yanda was really miserable, and he had such a fierce sister.

"Well, if he doesn't allow it, hit him. Girl, don't tell anyone beforehand! ”

Ah Jiu naturally nodded in agreement. But then he tilted his little head and snorted, "Childe, who are you going to pit again?" ”

"Shut up, you girl, you are really lawless, you haven't settled the account with you about running to Shamen Island without permission, and you don't care who this king is pitting!" After that, His Royal Highness Zhao was annoyed and angry, hugged Ah Jiu, pressed the girl on her lap, and her big hand kept falling, but what she heard was Ah Jiu's laughter like a silver bell.

The next day, Niu Gao came to the stone building, he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yougong running to Shamen Island to toss without permission, and now there are only Ah Jiu and Mu Wanqing next to him, and there are no outsiders, so he has no scruples, staring at his eyes and saying angrily, "Your Highness, you have a daughter's body, but you have come to this hell island." If something really happens, how can Niu explain to the eldest lady and how to explain to hundreds of thousands of soldiers? ”

"Brother, don't worry, this king swears to heaven that he will never be so reckless in the future, okay?" After speaking, Zhao Yougong really made a serious oath to the sky, he was not perfunctory this time, he really ate a trench and grew wise. This time it seems that there is no risk, but in fact it is very dangerous, if it is not for this variable, and the nine girls suddenly run, what the consequences will be, it is not yet known. Hearing that Yuge was able to control Murong Yanda and Huang Shanlong in his hands, it was really a bit unexpected.

Zhao Yougong swore so seriously, Niu Gao didn't say much, took a breath, sat on the seat and drank water, "I hope Your Highness can really keep this matter in mind, in addition, what about this Shamen Island, Your Highness really wants to garrison troops on Shamen Island?" ”

"Why not? Brother, you must know that this Shamen Island is located on the outer edge of Bohai Bay, and if there is a naval division stationed here, it will be a powerful combat force for both the Jurchens and the Liao people in the future! ”

Zhao Yougong said that there is quite a bit of the meaning of Mao Wenlong's occupation of Phi Island in later generations, although the current naval division has no artillery and its combat effectiveness is limited, it is still possible to transfer troops and transfer the rear. Just learn from Mao Wenlong, as long as the Jurchens dare to wave their troops south, let the sailors run to the Liaoyang area to toss, and the Jurchens come out once, and send someone to engage in the rear of the Jurchens. At that time, maybe there is no need for the Great Song soldiers and horses to do it, and the Jurchens will have civil strife themselves. Of course, Niu Gao is a Song man after all, he has the limitations of this era, and he doesn't know the importance of the water division, but Zhao Yougong insists on building a water division on Shamen Island, and he will not object.

"Your Highness, if you want to build a water division, you have nothing to do, but this Shamen Island is thousands of miles away from Guanzhong, how to replenish the material reserves? Who else will be sent to Salmon Island to oversee the water builders? The problem raised by Niu Gao is also the most difficult to solve at the moment, but Zhao Yougong has been prepared for this, spread out the map, and said with a slow smile, "Brother, the problem of material backup you said is indeed difficult to handle, but what if Dengzhou becomes our territory?" ”

"How is this possible?"

"How could it not be? When he returned to Bianjing, the king wrote to the imperial court, transferred Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, as the prefect of Dengzhou, and then took Wu Ling as the commander of Dengzhou's soldiers and horses. As for the person who supervises the water maker, there are also candidates, does my brother remember that Zhang Zhongyan? ”

After Zhao Yougong mentioned it, Niu Gao remembered a little, that Zhang Zhongyan is the younger brother of Zhang Zhongfu, he was famous when he was a teenager, erudite and talented, especially the ability to supervise the construction of warships is the most prominent, and he also understands the construction method of "Shenzhou" warships, and he is the most suitable person to supervise the construction of sailors. But Niu Gao also had his own worries, he pondered, frowned, and said, "Your Highness, it's good to let Zhang Zhongyan come to Shamen Island to supervise the water builder, but this person's mind is lively and his utilitarian heart is too strong, how can he ensure his loyalty?" ”

"Brother is too worried, let's use Zhang Zhongyan, don't ask for his loyalty, as long as you can. As long as this king builds ships and trains his troops, he doesn't need him to command the troops, so what waves can he stir up? In addition, learn it from the henchmen and craftsmen, and then put their own people on Salmon Island to command the army. Are you afraid that this Zhang Zhongyan dares to have two hearts? ”

"I wonder who His Highness plans to send to lead the troops?"

"Hu Cheng is the brother of Sanniang. Be wise. I have been on Salmon Island for many years, and I know this place very well, so I will leave him on Salmon Island to be foolproof. In addition, it is necessary for the elder brother to transfer the deputy general Li Bao to Shamen Island, so that Li Bao and Hu Cheng have both civil and military skills, so Zhang Zhongyan has the ability to reach the sky, what other storms can be stirred? ”

As soon as I heard that Zhao Yougong was going to transfer Li Bao. Niu Gao's face suddenly collapsed, and he muttered, "Your Highness, can Li Bao, that reckless man, lead a good sailor?" ”

"Brother, rest assured, this Li Bao was active in the Chengshi area in his early years, and Zhang Shun, who was known as the Shuibo Shuanglong, was known as the Shuibo Shuanglong, and his ability on the water was definitely not bad. In addition, Li Bao has been leading the army for many years, and he is very experienced in commanding operations, so he let him lead the water division. Maybe it didn't go well at first, but slowly groped for it. It will always work out. ”

Zhao Yougong's choice of Li Bao, a half-hanger, was really a helpless move, how many real sailors were there in the Great Song Dynasty? It is estimated that in this year, there is no one who really understands water warfare, and it would be good to be able to find Li Bao, a half-hanger.

"Okay, since His Highness has decided, let Li Bao stay on Shamen Island!" Niu Gao's sentence can be regarded as defining Li Bao's sex.

After noon, when Li Bao's general order to temporarily stay on Shamen Island to form a water division was issued, Li Bao suddenly couldn't sit still, and ran to Zhao Yougong to cry in every way, anyway, he only said that he was reckless, except for his good kung fu in water, and he couldn't command the war. No matter how Li Bao belittles himself, His Royal Highness Zhao has a small face, and that attitude is very obvious, you General Li Bao is not to say that he is a reckless man, he is a fool, and he has to stay honestly on Shamen Island as a sailor commander. Li Bao will play a scoundrel, and His Royal Highness Zhao will play a scoundrel, tossing for an hour, Li Bao can't make Zhao Yougong let go, and finally can only accept his fate.

"Your Highness, it's not impossible to let the last general stay, but you also have to agree to two conditions!"

"Say!"

"First, the two generals, Ling Zhen and Geng Yi, want to send some capable people to Salmon Island; Second, the selection of sailors is selected by the end. ”

Listening to Li Bao's conditions, Zhao Yougong's eyes suddenly lit up, he pursed his lips, and said with a smile, "Cheng, these two conditions should be accepted by this king." But can you kid tell me why you need these two conditions? ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, there are some things that the general is also thinking about. There are a lot of ships in our Song Dynasty of more than 30 zhang, but most of them are used to transport troops, and at most they can fire crossbows, which are really limited. The last general thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if we converted a trebuchet into a warship and threw a thunderbolt on the water?" ”

Hiss, Zhao Yougong stared at Li Bao deadly, and Li Bao felt furious. After a long while, Zhao Yougong walked out from behind the bookcase, slapped Li Bao on the shoulder, and laughed, "Li Bao, Li Bao, you kid is so smart, and you still say that you are a reckless man?" This king is looking for you to be this water master, and he has found the right person. ”

No wonder Zhao Yougong is not excited, as far as Li Bao's ideas are concerned, it is simply a simple gunboat in later generations, if he can really convert the trebuchet to the warship as Li Bao thought, or make some original version of the artillery, then the Dingguo Army Naval Division can go sideways.

Li Baoke couldn't understand why His Royal Highness Zhao was so happy, scratching his head and wondering, could his thoughts really be so bullish?

"What do you think? You kid is a good water master, you can rest assured about the thunderbolt fire bomb and trebuchet, when you return to Yanggu, this king will repair a book, and let Geng Yi personally come to Salmon Island to help you! ”

Hearing His Royal Highness Zhao's words, Li Bao's eyes straightened, swallowed his saliva, bowed down, and shouted loudly, "Your Highness is wise, really let General Geng Yi come in person?" ”

"What kind of bastard is this, this king still can't lie to you?" Zhao Yougong raised his foot to kick Li Bao, but Li Bao twisted his height and ran happily.

Let Geng Yi help Li Bao, it is also a historical decision, since Li Bao can have such an advanced consciousness, then he will be able to give full play to Geng Yi's talents, of course, if Geng Yi wants to be the commander of the artillery battalion, he will come over to Li Bao as a helper, it sounds incredible, and it is no wonder that Li Bao dare not believe it.

After solving the matter of Salmon Island, it was Tang Miao's turn, since he saw Tang Miao's ability, Zhao Yougong's mind to subdue Tang Miao was even deeper. Tang Miao is a person with outstanding ability, if he can recruit him, there will be one more general in the dark hall. Now the entire dark hall is supporting the façade of Dugu to seek defeat, but Dugu Daxia is purely famous, and he usually doesn't even show his face, but if Tang Miao is absorbed into the dark hall, with Tang Miao's ability, the dark hall can be regarded as a main general. After all, Mei Jian and the others are too small, and their worries are not as comprehensive as Tang Miao's.

When it was approaching, someone summoned Tang Miao, and Zhao Yougong put a pot of wine and two dishes on the table. Although the wine and food are a little cold, but on this Shamen Island, it is already hearty to have such food, "Lord Tang, please take a seat!" ”

"Your Highness!" Tang Miao was not polite, saluted, and sat down. Tang Miao really didn't want to say much to Zhao Yougong, if it weren't for the more than 2,000 Dingguo troops on the island, he would have escaped from Shamen Island a long time ago.

After sitting down, but not drinking, Zhao Yougong copied the food and said with a smile, "Lord Tang has been in the worship department for seven years, right?" (To be continued......)
