Chapter 145: Admiral of the Navy

Seeing that Zhao Guangyi and Xu Yongzhi had another dispute, Zhao Kuangyin came out to play a round.

"Yongzhi, tell me what you think, what should we ask of Li Yu?" Zhao Kuangyin said.

"If you don't talk to him at all, he will be frightened and panicked, and he may fall to Li Chongjin, but if his army is used to flank Li Chongjin, as I said earlier, politically ours will be very passive. It is better to order Li Yu's navy to patrol the river, and if there are fleeing Huainan defeated troops, they will all be returned, that is. Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes." Zhao Pu nodded sweetly.

"In this way, he carried out his duties as a subordinate, but he did not make any contributions, people like Li Yu, the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, let him help a little, let him help a little, by all means, and the most important point, I fought with the Southern Tang Army, they can't beat Li Chongjin at all, if they join forces, it will only become a drag on us." Xu Yongzhi said.

"That's it." Zhao Kuangyin nodded.

"King Jin, look at it."

"Brother Chen agrees, but it's still the same sentence just now, we don't have a naval army, if we can use the fleet in Jiangnan, it's a good opportunity." Zhao Guangyi said.

Xu Yongzhi looked at Zhao Guangyi and understood what Zhao Guangyi meant.

Zhao Er held back that he wanted to make Li Forsythia make meritorious service, if Li Forsythia persuaded Li Yu to provide a fleet for the Song army, then even if the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated in the future, Li Forsythia would be treated well, exonerated, and even rewarded.

Zhao Er can't be allowed to succeed.

"The minister has a fleet, which is enough to deal with Li Chongjin's defeated army." Xu Yongzhi said.

"You still have a fleet?" Zhao Kuangyin was also surprised.

"Qiqi official, I don't know whether to say it or not." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Behind closed doors, there's nothing you can't say." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"The King of Jin and the eldest princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty are on good terms, if the news leaks, I am afraid that the lives of this naval army will be difficult to protect." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What do you mean, do you mean that this king collaborates with the enemy?" Zhao Guangyi was furious.

"Don't dare, but King Jin should be careful, that woman is not simple." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I have a connection with that woman, and she also gave us a lot of information about Nantang, don't you still have that line of Nantang Zhaoyi?" Zhao Guangyi said.

"Xu Jin lost his words, I hope that the King of Jin can protect my Great Song Dynasty well." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Say it." Zhao Kuangyin felt that Xu Yongzhi was ruthless enough to beat Zhao Er.

"The Taihu Lake water thieves are my old friends and old subordinates, and I can recruit them to go north and attack Yangzhou along the canal." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Are these people reliable?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"It's the bad handsome of Tanzhou, who brought a group of good people from the Hunan Bow and Arrow Society, who couldn't bear the tyranny of the Southern Tang Dynasty and fell into the grass in the past." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I gave you the right to recruit cameras, so you can use them this time," Zhao Kuangyin looked at Xu Yongzhi, "In addition, I will add you as a boat envoy." ”

Xu Yongzhi hurriedly thanked him.

"You can send someone to contact the Taihu Lake water thieves first, and you can take your headquarters to move with the army." Zhao Kuangyin commanded.

"I want to go to Taihu Lake by myself, the situation there is more complicated, since the soldiers and horses of the headquarters are in the army, let Xu Taishi and Li Shoujie take care of it."

"Okay, you arrange it yourself, and I know."

At that moment, everyone agreed on the order of the plan to send troops, and the troops were dispatched the next day.

Xu Yongzhi returned to the barracks, and Xu Taishi, Li Sigui, Huo Yizun and Li Shoujie were already waiting for him in the government office.

"My lord, how is the situation?" Xu Taishi asked.

"The coach is Lord Shi Shouxin, and I will go with the team as a deputy general."

"Three things, Uncle Taishi and Dechen (Li Shoujie) hurried to rectify the soldiers and horses; Mr. Li and I went to Taihu Lake to connect with Feiyang Valley, preparing to attack Yangzhou from behind, and joined our army afterwards; In addition, the official family sealed my boat envoy. Xu Yongzhi said.

"Boat Messenger?" Li Sigui had never heard of this name.

"The new name of the envoy, in charge of the ship's business." Xu Yongzhi explained.

"The grace of the officials." Li Shoujie said.

"Which is bigger, the ship envoy or the commander?" Huo Yizun asked if he didn't understand.

"It's different, the boat envoy is the official of the inner court, the commander is the military officer, and the scholar is the courtier, these are three systems." Li Shoujie said.

"It's getting more complicated after you're done." Huo Yizun was confused.

"To put it simply, the envoys of the inner court are equivalent to the emperor's retainers, and these people are basically military attachΓ©s, and occasionally eunuchs, so everyone also calls them military election officials. For example, Zhang Dejun is the chief of the Western Class, this is the position of the inner court, and I was appointed as the imperial envoy by the official family, which is also the envoy responsible for the security of the inner court. ”

"The third compartment of the lord is the commander, he is a military position, a military attache in the army, a scholar in the middle school, an official of the imperial court, and a courtier."

"If the adult only has a military position, he will be regarded as an outsider by the military selection, most of these people are the sons of meritorious heroes, when they were children, they played in a military camp when they were young, and the official family gave the adults the identity of the military election officials, and it was easier to order these people, at the same time, my imperial city envoy is a false position, and it was given by the official family at that time in order to appease my father, and the adult's boat envoy is a real position, and he directly obeys the emperor's orders, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the adult is the chief admiral of the Great Song Dynasty Naval Division." Li Shoujie explained.

Huo Yizun nodded, everyone was not mistaken, the Zhao official family was indeed treated as a brother by Xu Yongzhi.

"An uncle stays in Bianliang, the imperial city and the family house, and beware of Li Forsythia making trouble." Xu Yongzhi commanded.

"Yes."

At this time, there was a report from the military academy outside the door.

"Enter." Xu Yongzhi ordered.

"Commander Du, there are three people outside, asking to see you outside, saying that Mrs. asked them to come to you." The military academy said.

"Linglai." Xu Yongzhi said.

These three are none other than Meng Tianniu, Niu Qi and Ma Ba, the three leaders of the Qingjiang Gang.

These three people are also sensible, and when they arrived outside Tokyo, they let the 500 people stay in the big car shop outside the city, and they came in to report by themselves, so they couldn't cause trouble to Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongzhi looked at Meng Tianniu, a tower-like man, well, it's a little interesting.

Look at Niu Qima Ba again, Niu Qiyi is a belly and eyes, and Ma Bayi is stunned.

The names of the three were reported, and Xu Yongzhi asked Meng Tianniu: "What are your specialties?" ”

"Our Qingjiang Gang is proficient in wine-making, and in addition, most of the brothers are slender men and boatmen, and they are all good at water and powerful." Meng Tianniu replied truthfully.

"It's useful," Xu Yongzhi smiled, "Madame is really clever, knowing that I am going to use a water army, so she sent me a group of sailors." ”

"Miss Duan is against a hundred people, the villain admires it very much, and if she can be under the public account again, the villain will also work hard." Meng Tianniu said.

Everyone was happy, because they had never seen Miss Duan "rival a hundred people", and felt that Meng Tianniu was joking, and Xu Yongzhi knew what was going on.

"Meng Tianniu is the head of the navy, Niu Qima and Ba are the deputy heads, the brothers who command you, the military discipline of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is strict, Li Dechen will take your soldiers to talk about military discipline in a while, don't make trouble, we will serve the Great Song Dynasty together, and you will also have a wife and a son." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes!" Meng Tianniu said.

Xu Yongzhi's "sealing the wife and the shadow" is a characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty.

When the Great Song Dynasty is mentioned in history books, it is always criticized for "emphasizing literature over military force", but in this kind of dynasty that "emphasizes literature over military force", there are few military generals who rebel.

It is because of the unique benefits of being a military general in the Great Song Dynasty.

The income is quite high, he has been a commander, and he has a salary; If you receive a state assassin history, you will add another copy of Yulu, plus another Zhongshu Sheren, and a copy of Yulu, and the military general can be crowned a prince of the country, or even a king.

The other is the grace system, you have made meritorious contributions on the front line, and you will indeed be angry with civilian officials when you come back, but your son can directly do military selection, go to the emperor's side to receive training, and in the future, he will be transferred to a civilian official in the imperial examination, or continue to be a military general, and there is no problem with the future.

Song Jiang in "Water Margin" said that "after receiving Zhao'an, fight for a wife and son", which means to let the child solve the problem of compilation.

Let Li Shoujie take the three leaders down and go out of the city to recruit people, and here Xu Yongzhi will think about the water master again.

"How many Taihu brothers are there in Feiyang Valley?" He asked Li Sigui.

"More than a hundred boats, less than a thousand." Li Sigui said.

"What is the size of the ship?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"There are mostly small boats within a hundred stones," Li Sigui said, "Taihu Lake water thieves usually farm, and the little noble girl told them not to disturb the people, so they are not professional water thieves." ”

"Mix the Hebei archers with the sailors of Yuzhou and Taihu Lake, and the combat effectiveness of these small boats will be improved." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Even if the boat from Taihu Lake comes, I'm afraid it won't be enough, and it is estimated that when I get to Sizhou, I have to find a way to buy a civilian boat." Li Sigui said.

"There is no need to be reluctant this time, the water army can perform something, the main thing is to train the team." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What about the Foot Cavalry's mission?" Xu Taishi asked.

"We are in the second formation, receiving and supporting, this is a good situation created by Li Chuyun in the past few months, and we can't take the credit from him." Xu Yongzhi said.

While he was talking, the little colonel came to report for the second time: "The commander is here, the king of Jin is here." ”

"What is he here for?" Xu Taishi looked at Xu Yongyi with a hesitant face, but before Xu Yongzhi came out to greet him, the voice of Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, had already arrived at the door.

"The military camp of the front division of the palace, do you still want to report when this king comes? Hahaha, Yongzhi! Brothers! ”

Weird! There is a way to be courteous and diligent, Xu Yongzhi hurriedly walked to the door and welcomed Zhao Guangyi in.

"Lord Wang!" He bowed down and was about to bow down, but was quickly stopped by Zhao Guangyi.

"My own brother, can you still do that?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Xu Yongzhi with a spring breeze on his face, "Hey, you're in a meeting, right, so I'll go out first?" ”

"No, no, no, it's already done." Xu Taishi gave a long sigh, "Lord, my lord, you talk, and your subordinates retire." ”

Several mermaids rushed out, and Xu Taishi closed the door.

Zhao Guangyi restrained his smile.

"Yongzhi, I'm here to make it clear to you."

"Lord Wang, Xu Jin listens."

"Don't get so close to Lao Pu, you will be plotted by him." Zhao Guangyi said.

This is what Zhao Guangyi recently discovered, and the relationship between Xu Yongzhi and Zhao Pu is a bit delicate, and it seems to be a kind of alliance to join forces to deal with himself.

"I'm not familiar with the counselor." Xu Yongzhi's words are a truth.

"I know you're not familiar, but I'm familiar, he sometimes treats you as a chess piece, you are sold by him, and you have to count the money for him." Zhao Guangyi said.

"The prince's teachings, the lower officials remembered." Xu Yongzhi said.

"This king has no ill will towards you." Zhao Guangyi said.

"It's weird!" Xu Yong thought in his heart, impeaching me at the wedding, you still said that you had no malicious intent.

"This king was instigated by the woman Li Lianqiao, and there were a lot of misunderstandings about you before, you made it clear at the wedding, and this king understood that this woman delayed our friendship, Yongzhi, are you willing to call me a second brother again?" Zhao Guangyi is actually affectionate, which is really unaccustomed.

"Second brother!" Xu Yongyi clenched his fists, "Brother, I have a saying, I don't know if to say it or not." ”

"We've all talked about such dangerous topics, so what's not to say?" Zhao Guangyi said.

The dangerous topic that Zhao Guangyi said was their conversation when Chai Rong just died.

"The world belongs to the official family and the Zhao family, and the descendants of the second brother must be hereditary ****." Xu Yongzhi said.

"This is natural." Zhao Guangyi said.

"Although Li Lianqiao is beautiful, but in this world to find a more beautiful woman than her, with the respect of the second brother, I am afraid that it is not difficult, the status of the second brother comes from the Great Song Dynasty, from the official family, the second brother is the king, how many beautiful women there are, if the second brother is no longer the king, even if there are many women, I am afraid that it will not be able to keep. Don't believe the instigation of the poisonous woman, which endangered the world of the Great Song Dynasty. Xu Yongzhi said.

These words are sincere and sincere, which is what Xu Yongzhi said in his heart.

But in Zhao Guangyi's heart, there was a ball of anger.

As we said earlier, Zhao Er's problem is not lustful, but jealousy; When he saw Li Forsythia waiting for him, Xia Xiaogui waiting for Xu Yongzhi, his heart was about to catch fire, and he was going to break up people's homes, this was his psychological activity.

"If you want to alienate Lao Pu, I will also cut off contact with Li Lianqiao, how about it?" Zhao Guangyi said.

Xu Yongzhi made a deep sigh: "Your Highness is like this, then the world is very lucky, and the society is very lucky." ”

Zhao Guangyi laughed, patted Xu Yongzhi on the shoulder, stuffed something into Xu Yongzhi's hand, and went out on the horse.

Xu Yongzhi looked at the things in his hand.

The handle of the jade axe.

The gift that Xiaogui gave to himself, Li Lianqiao once took it away, and later gave it to Zhao Er, Zhao Er returned the jade axe this time, it was really the meaning of breaking with Li Lianqiao.

Xu Yongzhi couldn't help but smile slightly.

How did he know that this "reconciliation" scene was exactly what Li Lianqiao proposed.

Just an hour ago, in the Jin Palace, Zhao Guangyi and Li Lianqiao were discussing countermeasures to deal with Xu Yongzhi:

"You go and reconcile with Xu Jin."

"Is this king the dignified king of Jin, and the son of a merchant and the commander of the envoy?" Zhao Guangyi was reluctant.

"This person is cautious, you just had a conflict with him, he will definitely leave many people to guard his home, and his own mind is not in front." Li Lianqiao said.

"What does this have to do with this king?" Zhao Guangyi said.

"If you reconcile with him, he will be more involved in the battle on the front line, if your brother goes to fight Yangzhou City in person, you stay in Tokyo, and we will get his son." Li Lianqiao said.

"This king can't send Kaifeng Mansion to kidnap children." Zhao Guangyi was confused.

"I have someone to help you, you don't need to do it. Also, it's not just a child. Li Lianqiao smiled.

"That child's name is Xu Genealogy, and he is Xu Jin's son, what's not simple?" Zhao Guangyi said.

"Chai Genealogy." Li Lianqiao said.

"Huh?" Zhao Guangyi was taken aback.

"That child is Chai Rong's son." Li Lianqiao said.

"Judging from the time, it should be after he asked for that medical girl." Zhao Guangyi didn't believe it yet.

"I understand and tell you, I did something to Xu Yongzhi, and he is unlikely to have children now." Li Lianqiao said.

"You're so powerful, don't use it on me." Zhao Guangyi looked at Li Lianqiao.

"How come, you are the prince, I am your slave, I will only listen to you and serve you......" Li Lianqiao said.

"I see, so Xu Jin has been covering for Chai Rong's child! This is the sin of deception! Zhao Guangyi said.

"What will your brother do when he finds out about this child?" Forsythia asked.

"He'll pretend not to know." Zhao Guangyi, "Chai Zongxun didn't kill him, and this kid won't either." ”

"But he's worried about this kid being used, won't he?" Forsythia asked.

"Of course." Zhao Guangyi said.

"Let's find the evidence, and then get rid of this child, even if your brother will blame you for a few words, he will definitely hate Xu Jin for bullying the king, right."

"Great idea!" Zhao Guangyi slapped his thigh.

"But it's really unwillingness to bow to Xu Jin!" Zhao Guangyi looked at Li Lianqiao meaningfully.

"You give him that jade axe, that thing used to be his, it will work." Li Lianqiao pointed to the jade axe worn by Zhao Guangyi.

"Don't, what you give me is mine." Zhao Guangyi shouted.

"I'll compensate you when you come back, my lord." Li Lianqiao gently touched his thigh.

"No, you have to compensate me ...... now"

After a stick of incense, Zhao Guangyi walked to the courtyard in good spirits and called his subordinates:

"Prepare the horse, go to the barracks of the front division of the palace!"
