Chapter 22 Calm the Army's Morale

The next day, Zhao Lie tossed for an hour, the big gun wheel opened and closed, the tiger and tiger wielding the Yanling knife, and finally, Zhao Lie calmed down with a bow and arrow, and shot fifty arrows in one go, Li Hu, Huang Han, Yu Dabao and Zhao Meng, who came later, were very worried at first, Zhao Lie's violent practice method was too easy to get injured, but in the end, when Zhao Lie shot the last ten arrows, he saw that he had no distractions and was as calm as ever.

After bathing and changing clothes, he sent someone to call Wanji back home, handed over more than a dozen pages of epidemic prevention ethics to him, and carefully explained all the details. For example, it is forbidden to drink raw water, only boiled water, personal hygiene and street hygiene are checked, public toilets are set up, open defecation is not allowed, the number of children under the age of 12 is counted, etc. Implemented today, this code of ethics can't help but make Wan Ji, who is cautious himself, manage the refugee camp even more carefully, and he only found out that the care in the body of the adult is far above himself.

When eating breakfast in the morning, Zhao Lie found that there were still three red-eyed ones, Zhao Qin's, Zhao Feng, and Zhao E, especially Zhao E, whose eyes were high and swollen, and they had no energy.

After the meal, Zhao Qinshi asked Zhao Meng to accompany him to the refugee camp, and after returning, Zhao Qin's collected old clothes, bought food, and was very busy. Give full play to the potential of strong women, transfer the housekeepers, mothers-in-law, and maids, and make every effort to relieve the Liao people. Zhao Meng and Zhao Feng cooperated.

Zhao Lie doesn't have these skills, he has to be busy for the future survival of tens of thousands of people, to be precise, adventures.

Zhao Haiming has sunk the Fuhai by the reef, three ships in Haicang, and three ships in Cangshan have sunk in a storm. These ships have all been reported to have sunk in a storm and reported to the Dengzhou Naval Division.

Commander Zhao is confident, this great achievement of the imperial court will make up for the Weihai division warship no matter what, in addition, there is also a long list of merit rosters within the naval division, and I think it will be gracious, after all, the first level is real.

Therefore, Zhao Lie went to the dock in the morning to board the Fuhai and rendezvous with the bows of the other six ships to explain the matter.

When Zhao Lie boarded the Fuhai, the six bows were already waiting on the deck of Fuhai, and when they saw Zhao Lie, they all bowed down and saluted, "I've seen my lord." "These people are all descendants of Zhao Haiming, which is also the reason why they were chosen by Zhao Haiming.

These people have the same official rank as Zhao Lie, they are all hundred, but Zhao Lie is the son of Zhao Commander, and he has made great contributions, and his promotion is certain, and several people are very respectful.

"No courtesy, several of the bows are Zhao's seniors, please mention more in the future."

Several people didn't even dare to say it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhao Lie said today that this time, we will go deep into the Ryukyu Kingdom and punish the Japanese slave fleet. In doubt, so to speak. Zhao Lie looked around at a few people.

Several people looked at each other, the medium-sized, slightly chubby Lan Xiang looked at everyone and plucked up his courage: "My lord, this is a provocation." The imperial court ......" Lan Xiang blinked and looked at Zhao Lie, although the words were not finished, but it meant to show that, boss, this crime of stealing the house.

"Change the outfit, flag, rob the goods, keep the goods without leaving people, after the goods are sold, all the crew members will earn half of the income, and the bow of the ship will earn half of the income. Retain military status. Zhao Lie was impatient with various explanations, so he simply put forward them all. Is there a quit? ”

The bow of the ship was surprised at first, okay, change the flag, outfit, isn't this a pirate, well, still kill people, damn, it's really vicious, the adult is only sixteen this year, it's really tender and black, wait, the crew is half of the income, the bow of the ship is half of the income, hiss, several people wiped their saliva, and still retained their military status. This, this fool just quit, there are only eight months of silver a year in the sailor, and there is no sporadic income at sea, and he can't live his life. This is a reasonable and legal robbery of the army, the Japanese country is the enemy country, and the Wanli conquest of Korea is not the conquest of the Japanese invaders. What's more, what's the matter, isn't there still Lord Zhao on top.

"Obey your lordship," several people responded in unison.

"Go back and inform the crew that if you are killed, you will be given a pension of two hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels of silver for serious injuries and disability, and one hundred taels of silver for serious injuries." Zhao Lie put down the last hole card. "Five hundred taels of silver for dead and wounded in the bow."

Several people were really bent over and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you for your compassion, thank you, your lord." "Everyone is very excited, this is related to the interests of each of them, the guns on the battlefield have no eyes, who dares to say that they have not memorized the day.

"This time, I should not leak a little bit with my family and relatives. Violators will be beheaded. Zhao Lie said sharply, his eyes looked at a few people one by one, and several people immediately felt a coldness coming to their faces, Zhao Lie's sharp eyes, followed by a cold face, indicating that this was not just a threat, as the son of the commander was a heavenly existence for them, and it was really easy to ask for their lives.

"Obey." Several people replied respectfully.

"From today onwards, you will be called captains, remember, we are still the Ming army. We are not pirates, we are punishing our country. Zhao Lie finally emphasized. Motives are not important, what matters is that everything is done for a righteous reason.

"Yes, we will punish the country and not be subordinate." Several people responded with a bang. It seems that he is really righteous and upright for the country.

Next, Zhao Lie ordered to prepare more baggage and sail ropes. It is planned to leave in three days. The first meeting was successfully concluded.

Zhao Lie returned to the mansion non-stop, and saw that the people in the mansion were busy, sorting out the warehouse, shipping old grain, and cleaning old clothes, a busy scene.

Entering the hall, I saw Zhao Qinshi resting on the recliner crookedly, and the big girl Ziling next to him was fanning her.

Zhao Lie was a little heartbroken, this fatigue was caused by himself, but he made his mother work hard, but he shouldn't have been, after all, Zhao Qin's family is in his forties, which is already an advanced age in ancient times, and he stepped forward to greet:

"Mother has worked a lot, and the child has given you a greeting."

Zhao Qinshi smiled, "It's okay, seeing that the people of Liao are miserable so far, my heart is blocked, do something at home, my heart is stable, save more people and ask for more blessings for your father and son." ”

Zhao Lie wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Qin smiled and nodded at Zhao Lie, "Something else, in the past six months, you have a lot of things, let's say,"

"Mother, I got the Shandong iron mine, copper mine and other mine sites from an inquisitor master, and then, pig iron and brass are of great use, can mother send some capable servants to find out." Zhao Lie was really suffering from a shortage of manpower, so he could only ask his mother for help.

"Oh, the location is true." Mom had a slight doubt. In ancient times, prospecting was not easy, and it was common to lose sight.

"It's true, there are villagers in various locations who have found ore, but no one has found the ore vein in the past." Just kidding, they are all big mines in later generations, although they are now being excavated by manpower, and only shallow ore can be used, but this is enough for their own early use.

"This matter is troublesome, the imperial court has imposed a mining ban, and can only join hands with the local gentry," Zhao Qin's family is in charge of the family's financial power after all.

"It's easy to say, because what they value is the proceeds from the sale of ore, and my family wants iron and copper." In the future, the bird guns and cannons are the big consumers of copper and iron, and there is no source in their own hands, so they only rely on the purchase of Fujian iron, Guangzhou Railway, and Suzhou Iron and Steel, and consume silver and silver.

Zhao Qin's thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, this Liaomin disaster made her feel very uneasy, Denglai is only on the opposite shore of Liaodong, the sea is only a few hundred miles, the tailwind can be reached in more than a day, Denglai is already the frontier, his own base on the naval general, Zhao Qinshi knows that a big defeat is a disaster, everything is to strengthen their own strength first. As long as you have your own official position and military strength in hand, the floating wealth that has been dispersed today will return to you in the future.

Zhao Lie left several locations of the copper and iron mine, and helped Zhao Qin's family loosen their muscles. The waiting mother smiled.

As soon as Zhao Qin's family was happy, he mentioned Zhao Lie's marriage, "Lie'er, your uncle wrote a letter the day before yesterday, saying that the county order of Wendeng County has a daughter, who is twenty-eight years old, knowledgeable, and beautiful......."

"Mother, the preparation of the sea ship is very urgent, and I also took the time to come, this matter is not in a hurry, take me back and discuss it." Zhao Lie hurriedly interrupted and fled in embarrassment.

Zhao Qin's family couldn't cry or laugh, Zhao Meng was sick because of his illness, it was not easy to marry many times, he was disgusted by the family, and the willing Zhao family was unwilling to be wronged, so he has been stumbling so far, and the second son is also sixteen years old, and he has also reached the age, but as long as this matter is mentioned, Zhao Lie will make Zhao Qin helpless.

Zhao Lie is also speechless, he is only sixteen years old in this era, seventeen years old, I believe that his wife will only be younger than him, Zhao Lie, who came to the next generation, said that he can't accept his marriage with an underage girl, it is really too evil.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the sailor camp sounded three horns, Zhao Lie hurriedly put on the hanging, and a group of relatives came to the camp, only to see the Fushan was slowly docking, behind several Haicang, Cangshan ships also slowly entered the port, on the wharf, the commander of the same knowledge Qin Zuo, the servant Li Yang, the bow of each ship, and the officials at all levels of the official office came to welcome the victorious return of the commander Zhao.

As soon as Zhao Haiming stepped on the dock, everyone knelt down and bowed in unison: "Our subordinates congratulate Lord Zhao on his victory in killing slaves, which greatly increases the prestige of our Weihai Division, which makes Jiannu frightened." ”

Zhao Haiming stroked his chest with his right hand and shouted: "Daming Wansheng." ”

Everyone responded, and for a while, on the dock, the ship was full of high-pitched voices of Daming Wansheng. Everyone understands that this big victory is beneficial to everyone, and those who are promoted are promoted, and those who are rich are rich.

Zhao Haiming stretched out his hand to help: "Please get up, please get up." Look at Zhao Lie, twist his beard and smile, knowing that Zhao Lie is the first merit of this great victory, but only his own merit will not let people take away the great merit, otherwise a small hundred households are nothing, it is normal to be taken by someone to lead the army, and it is strange if there is no military merit that is seized.

"This great victory, thanks to a group of officers and soldiers who bravely killed slaves, thanks to the generals in the rear to supply food and straw, this great achievement is our Weihai division from one to the same heart, I, Zhao Haiming, thank you here." Zhao Haiming gave a deep salute, in the army, he knew that the battle array, the importance of his subordinates returning to their hearts, and the credit was also a big question, Zhao Haiming knew this way.

Sure enough, everyone bowed down again in gratitude. Zhao Haiming helped them up one by one, and encouraged them with kind words. Zhao Lie watched from the sidelines, admiring his father's skillful wrists and ease, and he had gained a lot.

Zhao Haiming and several adults returned to the official office to discuss, and officials at all levels had dinner at the official office of the sailor, after all, the reward did not come down, and it was not good to go to the restaurant in Weihaiwei to celebrate, and the sailors of each ship also added dinner to celebrate, and the sailors of the navy camp were thunderous for a while.

The banquet didn't end until mid-time, Zhao Haiming was in the offensive of everyone, although Zhao Lie helped him, he was also drunk, Zhao Lie was also drunk, and the father and son returned to the official residence with the support of a group of relatives, and Zhao Qin's family complained for a while, and they each cleaned up and rested.

ps Zhao Lie's face in the past two days, it is recommended to collect it.
