Chapter 217: Flying Tiger Five
(Thank you for smoking and lighting the fire, the head of the robbers, for the reward of Liu Dashen, and ask for the collection of red tickets)
For the time being, there are only more than 5,000 soldiers in the navy, so the big ships needed are not too much, after all, a big five-tooth ship can carry more than 1,000 soldiers, and if the water area is narrow, the five-tooth big ship can't be fully deployed. The water mooring in Junozawa is large enough, but it seems that it is still a bit reluctant to spend a lot of money to build a large number of five-tooth ships. With these in mind, Li Xian decided to build a five-tooth ship and drag it back.
Therefore, what the navy needs most now is the relatively more flexible Yellow Dragon Clipper in water warfare, a Yellow Dragon Clipper can carry a hundred sailor soldiers, and it can also install heavy weapons such as ballistas on board. When the Great Sui Dynasty destroyed Nan Chen, when Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, led a large army to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, most of the boats that the soldiers took were this kind of Yellow Dragon Clipper. It was also with thousands of such warships that the world-famous Nanchen Sailor was defeated.
Zhu Yishi was very uncomfortable at first after arriving in Juyeze, but after a few days of getting along, he found that the so-called anti-thieves were all so kind, and he was entrusted with important tasks by Li Xian when he first arrived in Yanyunzhai, and the generals in the navy not only did not resist, but respected him very much, which made Zhu Yishi's heart quite warm. Moreover, Li Xian also deliberately chose a beautiful place to build a single courtyard for them, and allocated fifty elite soldiers to him as his own soldiers, and ordered that he could be completely independent in everything needed for shipbuilding.
After a period of time, Zhu Yishi has adapted to his new identity and new life.
His wife had recovered from the initial panic and fear, and she didn't have much resistance to the beautiful mountains and rivers. Especially when Li Xian personally arranged to send her pair of children to the old man Xu Zhizang to worship as a husband, not only could he read and write but also learn medical skills, and his wife Sun eliminated prejudices. You must know that Xu Zhizang once won the appreciation of Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Cause, and was named a free horseman, and he was very famous in the imperial court.
When he was in Nanchen, his fame had already spread to the north of the river.
Therefore, after Zhu Yishi hesitated for a while, he still decided to go to Li Xian and tell the truth what he thought in his heart. His wife Sun persuaded: "You have just arrived in Juyeze, it is better to do things in peace first, although those people are quite kind to our family, but after all, they are all evil bandits who kill people without blinking, if you annoy them, won't our family suffer?" ”
Zhu Yishi glared at his wife and said, "What do you know about this woman?" How can you say that the people in Yanyunzhai are all evil bandits, and they have been in Juyeze for more than a month, which one of them is not polite and kind to our house? In my opinion, it is more amiable than the people in the government! Besides, you have also seen General Li, and you know that he is General Yanyun in Liaodong back then, and most of the people in Yanyun Village are soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion, why are you still prejudiced from this? I'll never say that again! ”
Sun smiled: "It's good that you can think like this, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to turn this bend in your head?" ”
Zhu Yishi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "People treat me as a countryman, and I should repay them as a countryman." General Li is a real hero, and since I already plan to stay, I can't mess around. ”
"Okay, you go early and come back early, I'll prepare a meal and wait for you."
Sun said with a smile.
Zhu Yishi snorted, put on his clothes and walked out, and said as he walked: "Remember to warm a pot of wine, and then steam the lake fish sent by Miss Jia'er in the morning. ”
"Thanks to Miss Jia'er's care!"
Sun muttered, "Otherwise, I'll invite her and everyone Ye over for dinner at night?" ”
Zhu Yishi paused, thought for a while and said, "The small courtyard of the Ye family is not far from our house, if you go and invite you, you can make a few more dishes." Speaking of which, if it weren't for the Ye family's desperate efforts to save us from Jiangdu, I don't know where our family would be a lonely ghost at this time. ”
"I know all of this!"
Sun smiled and said, "That's right! Xu Lao should have been invited as well. ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Yishi said with a smile: "In this Yanyun Village, I can pour Xu Lao down!" ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Li Xian and Chen Que'er walking into the small courtyard with a smile.
"Brother Hongyuan is at home?"
Before entering the door, Chen Que'er shouted loudly.
Hongyuan is Zhu Yishi's table.
"Yes!"
Zhu Yishi hurriedly greeted the door and said, "I've seen the general, I've seen Chen Dangjia!" ”
Li Xian smiled: "Why are you so polite? Didn't you say it, in private, we are still brothers. Brother Zhu, you are ten years older than me, but I should have seen you first. ”
Zhu Yishi hurriedly said: "Where is the general, the elders are respectful and humble, and they must not be without rules." ”
Li Xian smiled and said: "The elder and the young are respectful, the elder and the young are respected in the front, and the elders are respected." ”
Chen Que'er patted Zhu Yishi's shoulder and said with a smile: "The general and I came to your house today to beg for wine, is my sister-in-law at home?" Today, I want to try the craftsmanship of my sister-in-law, I have long heard Miss Jia'er say that the steamed lake fish made by my sister-in-law should be a must! ”
"Yes, yes."
Zhu Yishi blushed and said: "In the morning, Miss Jia'er sent two fat fish, just now I said that it will be cooked for a while, please invite Xu Lao and Ye to come over and eat together, I didn't dare to disturb the general, but it happened that the general and Chen Dangjia came." ”
"So, we're in catch?"
Chen Qi'er laughed.
Li Xian saw that Zhu Yishi was wearing clothes, and immediately asked, "Brother Zhu, is this going out?" ”
Zhu Yishi said: "I was going to find you, the general, but you came first." ”
"Go"
Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Let's go into the house and talk about something." ”
……
…….
"The steamed fish made by my sister-in-law is really a must!"
Chen Que'er took a bite of the fish and put it in her mouth, and after tasting it, she was full of praise.
Sun blushed and said: "How can it be as delicious as Chen Dangjia said, but we have grown up by the river since we were children, and this fish is also cooked, general, you don't think it's unpalatable, I'll go to the kitchen first, and stew a chicken." ”
Jia'er got up and said, "I'll help you!" ”
Ye Huaisleeve was about to get up, but Sun hurriedly stopped him.
Everyone said a few polite words, and Sun and Jia'er went to the kitchen to get busy. Xu Zhi took a sip of the new wine brewed in the cottage, took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "The old man has traveled from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, and he has only lived the fastest life in the period when he entered Juyeze. There are people to take care of wine and food, and there are a few talented apprentices, this life is enough! ”
"I remember!"
Chen Qi'er said with a smile: "When General Daxi Changru went to Taoyuan, you were always reluctant to go out of the mountain. ”
Xu Zhizang said with a smile: "I knew that Yuzi was so happy, who would want to guard the peach orchard and wait for death?" ”
Ha ha!
Everyone laughed.
Li Xian saluted Xu Zhizang with a glass of wine and asked Zhu Yishi: "You said you were going to look for me, what's the matter?" ”
Speaking of business, Zhu Yishi hurriedly put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "I have been busy with Chen Dangjia in the navy for the past few days, I have already seen the trees in Zezhong, and there is no problem with shipbuilding." It's just another thing I've thought about for a long time, and I still want to say something to you, General. ”
He paused for a moment and said, "The size of the water army is still too small!" ”
"In my opinion, if the navy wants to make a difference, it must have at least 10,000 soldiers. Today's 5,000 sailors can't completely control the waters with the Huanglong Clipper alone, and they must have a five-tooth big ship. But there are only 5,000 soldiers in the navy, and if all of them are trained in the five-toothed big boat, it will not work, and without the Huanglong clipper to respond, the big ship is easy to be besieged by the enemy's small boats. So, after thinking about it, I still think that the scale of the water army is a little smaller. If you can expand the navy, in the future, you will go to the Linjiang water battle, with the Wuya big boat as the leader, the Huanglong clipper as the mainstay, and the "Fufeng" and "centipede" and other small boats as the auxiliary, advance and retreat to a certain extent, rely on each other, even if you encounter the imperial court sailors, you may not be easily defeated! ”
Chen Que'er said: "Brother Hongyuan is right, I talked to the general about this just now. ”
Li Xian nodded slightly and said: "It's just that now the cottage recruits recruits on the basis of merit, and since March, it has only accepted more than 10,000 people." All battalions were injured in the battle, and I originally planned to make up the men and horses of the Five Elements Battalion before recruiting troops to expand the navy, since you and Chen Dangjia both planned to do so, then I will transfer all the recruits to the navy. ”
He hugged his fists and said solemnly: "I'm not good at how to train the navy, it's all thanks to Brother Zhu's trouble." ”
Zhu Yishi hurriedly said: "The general is polite, since I have arrived at Juye Zeyanyun Village, I regard this place as my home, how can a family talk to two families?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Xian glanced at Ye Huaisleeve seemingly inadvertently. Ye Huaisleeve lowered his head, looking at his reflection in the wine glass, as if he was pondering something.
"Just ......"
Chen Qi'er said with a smile: "After the general goes back, it is not easy to talk to the iron wolf, haha!" ”
……
……
After everyone said goodbye from Zhu Yishi's courtyard, Li Xian just walked a few steps and suddenly heard Ye Huaisleeve say: "General, I also have something to tell you about the Flying Tiger spy." ”
Everyone knew that the Flying Tiger spy was a secret in the cottage, so they took their leave.
Li Xianyu and Ye walked side by side with their sleeves in their sleeves, and walked along the mountain path to the water. At this time, it was late autumn, and the mountains were a little less enchanting and a little more solemn. I don't know if this mountain path was stepped out by the woodcutter who went up the mountain many years ago, or if Zhang Jin sent someone to build it when he was in Juyeze before, it was quite narrow and difficult to walk, and there were several dangerous places, Li Xian took Ye Huai's hand and helped her over.
"If you want the Flying Tiger spy to confront the Long Tingwei of the imperial court, the expansion of the scale is only one-sided, and there must be some regulations."
Ye Huaisleeve said as he walked: "I plan to subdivide the responsibilities of the Flying Tiger secret spy. ”
Li Xian smiled and said, "Since I handed over the Flying Tiger to you, you can let it go." ”
Ye Huai glanced at him and said, "Aren't you the master of Yanyun Village?" ”
Li Xian was stunned, and said with a sneer: "You say, I'll listen." ”
Ye Huaisleeve said: "I plan to divide the Flying Tiger spy into five departments, one of which is a sentinel agent, who is specifically responsible for exploring intelligence. Second, it is logistics, which is in charge of support and supply. Third, he was an assassin who was in charge of assassination and sneak attacks. Fourth, for the guard, in charge of protection and vigilance. Fifth, it is for supervision, and is responsible for supervising the secret spies of various ministries. ”
She looked at Li Xian and said, "So, I'm going to ask you a few people." ”
"Who?"
Li Xian asked.
"General Daxi Changru, I'm going to ask him to help me train sentry agents, as well as assassins, and of course, Zhang Da Master, the two of them are the most skilled in martial arts, and there is no better place to train assassins than them. There is also Dugu Ruizhi, and I plan to ask him to select a group of people from the logistics staff to learn the skills of making and delivering poison. ”
"Flying Tiger Five?"
Li Xian smiled and said, "It's good!" ”
