Chapter 350: An Intriguing Visit

The nightmare that Yang Zhi brought to the people of Dongying has just begun.

The first time I tried to grab it, I got a lot. It not only solved the urgent need of the embarrassment, but also opened up a stable financial source, and what is even more rare is that the fleet has been tempered by actual combat.

Li Zhaonai is Xiong Zhan's old department, born in a well-off farming and farming family, with great military talent, due to bad luck and fell into the sea as a bandit, and was self-taught in looting and fighting. His wife Xianglian was originally Linglong's personal maid, and the two families had frequent contacts and a close relationship. Yang Zhi treats him like a brother, and he is very appreciative and loving.

smiled: "Brother, do you think 1.3 million taels of silver is a lot?" You read a book for a few days, and your eyes are on your nostrils. You need to know that there is no end to learning! How many widows did you kill on this expedition? What about our own casualties? ”

Li Zhao was stunned when he heard this: "Master Hou, you have repeatedly instructed you to rob more silver, brothers, who has the heart to count how many widows have been killed?" There were almost no casualties in our own house, eleven wounded and only seven killed. ”

The sailors crossed the sea to fight, and the battle losses were less than one percent, which is completely negligible according to common sense. But Yang Zhi heard the clue from Li Zhao's reply, frowned and asked: "You are the commander of the army on this trip, how many Japanese people have you killed, how can you have countless in your heart?" Although the number of battle casualties is small, why do you only claim to have died in the line of duty, instead of being killed? Tell me the truth! ”

Li Zhao snorted: "Master Hou, according to your orders, artillery and heavy crossbows equipped with gunpowder have been bombarded down in two rounds, and the houses along the coast have been basically razed to the ground. After landing on the shore, it is a greeting of fire guns and feather arrows, and how many living people can you see? Grab more money is the right thing, I can't order the brothers to dig up houses and dig houses to count the corpses, right? ”

"As for the battle damage situation. …… Of the eleven wounded, nine were burned by artillery or gunpowder, and two were injured by a stumble while landing. Seven people who died in the line of duty. Three of them were attacked by a dying storm of Japanese people who were seriously injured but did not die, and died of their injuries. The rest of the four. …… It was when he landed on the shore to set up a wine to reward the army, and he drank too much and was drunk to death. ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help laughing: "It's a shame that you're embarrassed to tell me!" After a battle for the generals, they didn't know how many casualties the enemy had! Leaving aside our wounded, if the dead died in a bloody battle with the Japanese people, it was also a well-deserved death, and I have nothing to say. But in a foreign country, he was drunk to death, what is going on? Brother, to put it mildly, they were also raised by their fathers. It's not even easy to write a sacrificial text when you are buried! ”

admonished: "Unified external voice, just say that these four people died of a violent illness." The dead are greater, so that they can save some face. You do it yourself for the bereavement of the dead and wounded sergeants. ”

One of the very important reasons why Li Zhao respects Yang Zhi to death is that Yang Zhi never puts on a show in peacetime, cares for the sergeants, attaches great importance to their casualties, and never sloppily.

Yang Zhi immediately ordered. After that, for a period of three months, the fleet was sent to Dongying on a regular rotation to "collect silver". Li Zhao asked puzzledly: "Master Hou, now that our ships are strong and the guns are sharp, the brothers are idle. Isn't it good to grab one once a month? Why is it so long after three months? ”

Yang Zhi sighed: "Ah Zhao, do you plan to be a thug for me for the rest of my life?" If you are a person who has read a book, you should know that commanding troops and conscription is a broad and profound science. You don't have to study to be a general. If you are handsome, you must read more and use your brains more! ”

"Our family background is counted as 2,000 people from the islands off the coast of Shandong. Of the 3,000 garrisons stationed in Yizhou, there are only more than 15,000 fleet sailors that can really be used. In order to prevent the raid of Great Xia and Southern Chu on land across the strait. About 3,000 sergeants are sent to patrol day and night all year round. The three armed fleets sent out last time have not yet returned, and regular voyages have become a regular practice in the future. You are also the leader of the troops, don't you need to take turns to rest? Don't need to drill soldiers and horses on weekdays? Doesn't Yizhou need to stay with a fleet to guard? ”

"Also, did you pick up the silver you snatched back this time? Or was it plucked from the trees they planted? We are ruthless, but we can't push too everything. It takes time for the Japanese to mine and refine silver. It will take time for the news of our landing and plundering to spread. No one is willing to be bullied and plundered, and it takes time for the Japanese to face the reality, to accept the reality, and then to submit to the reality. ”

"For us, it's also based on reality, and it has to be tightened in moderation. Got it? ”

Li Zhao chewed for a long time, bowed down and said, "Master Hou, I understand." ”

"It's good to get it." Yang Zhi immediately instructed: "Go home and rest for a few days, and spend time with Xianglian and the child." After that, he went to the army to make arrangements and prepare for the handover of military power. ”

"Huh?!" Li Zhao was suddenly shocked, fell to his knees and said, "Master Hou, I am not wrong in asking myself!" If you remove me like that, I ...... I'm not convinced! ”

Yang Zhi was stunned, kicked him falsely, and said with a smile: "Withdrew you?" Even if you are willing to go, I am reluctant to let go! Get out of here! You rammer! I've already ordered the preparation of the Lecture Hall, don't you know? The lecture hall should be open in early August, and the first batch of cadets will be officers at the rank of lieutenant and above. If you don't go to the army to make arrangements for the delivery of military power, do you want to lead the troops in the academy? ”

No matter how tight the use is, not only is it imperative to open a martial arts hall, but Yang Zhi also plans to spend money to open free public schools in the islands off the coast of Shandong and Yizhou within the next year. There is a way to be a tree for ten years and a tree for a hundred years. Within the precedent traditional education system, the injection of fresh blood with the distinctive Yang logo is of immeasurable significance. Is it deviant? In other words, why not?

Xiong Zhan, who is far away in Shandong, seems to be rough and heroic, but in fact, in addition to his martial arts skills, he is not inferior to Yang Zhi, he has extremely rich practical combat experience, and he is also quite talented in his chest. Since it is the opening of a martial arts hall, such a wonderful talent is hard to find, how can it be wasted?

As soon as the subordinates are subordinates, officers above the rank of lieutenant must participate in the first phase of training, and of course the men and horses of the islands off the coast of Shandong are also among them. Yang Zhi personally sent a letter to the book bear exhibition: Yizhou's climate and scenery are far better than Shandong. Vacation and peace of mind, it's all suitable. You don't have to fight for your life, you can always be a teacher for a few months, right? If you can't bear your wife and children, then bring them together. It just so happens that Linglong and my two children also miss Yingniang and Xiong Keer very much.

Han Yu's "Shi Shuo" has made the best annotation for the purpose of teaching Wutang. Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts. There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. The teacher does not have to be stronger than the disciple, and the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher. There will be no strict distinction between teachers and students, and those who are capable can be teachers.

Yang Zhi set such an open tone for running a school, and Jiang Chengbi readily agreed. There is no class in teaching, and those who are capable are teachers, as it should be!

Yang Zhi originally wanted to stay in Yizhou until early August, and then leave for Jinling after attending the opening ceremony of the lecture hall. On 16 July, he received a secret report from Gao Kejing, the envoy of the Yuhang Customs Branch: Geng Chao, the general of Pingnan stationed in Yuhang, was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work. He ordered someone to summon him, intending to make a detour to Jinling on the way back to Beijing and go to the Yamen, the governor of customs, to pay a special visit to Yang Zhi.

Zhao Qixin ascended the throne, and none of the senior generals who commanded the army were transferred, and they did not seek allegiance to the death, but only the stability of the army. Geng Jin's father and son are powerful, and the ranking of the military is ironclad enough to rank in the top ten at the same time. At present, although Geng Jin no longer has the real power to hold the army, he is a second-class duke, and he is the first scholar of the Wuying Palace in Great Xia, and he is also the first among the leaders of the military forces in Great Xia. When you use it, you can use it, and you can use it when you don't use it. What's more, his son Geng Chao is outside the army, even if there is a suspicion of leisure or refrigeration, others will take it for granted.

Geng Chao took over his father's position and stationed in Yuhang, and Yang Zhi became the first governor of customs, which was almost a matter of front and back. During this period, it was not once or twice that he returned to Beijing to report on his work. In fact, Yang Zhi and Geng Chao are busy on weekdays, and they have never talked about any personal relationship. Geng Chao made a special trip to send people to communicate this time, and made an appointment to visit him in advance, which is really intriguing! (To be continued.) )
