Chapter 7: National Disaster (5)

There is a saying that a person's vision often determines the future of his life.

Zheng Ziming is inferior to Fan Zheng in terms of power and strategy, and inferior to Pan Mei in terms of strategy, but in terms of vision height, he is one of the best in the world. As early as when he was plotting to make the navy a throne, he had already set his sights on the sea. Now that he has slowly gained a firm foothold in Cangzhou, he must eliminate any resistance and build a water hero who is completely obedient to his orders.

And the training of the sailors is completely different from that of the army. It is not uncommon for strong men on horseback to wield swords like the wind, but they can't even stand on their feet after stepping on the deck. If the plan for training troops in Lijiazhai is copied to the sea, I am afraid that it will take 10 years of hard work and will not be able to achieve any results. Therefore, the best way Zheng Ziming can think of at the moment is to start with fishing at sea, and at the same time try to make the brothers accustomed to boating, and at the same time to be self-sufficient with the harvest from the sea.

As for Kunpeng and the ghosts and gods, he never cared, and he didn't care. If there were really ghosts and gods in this world, it would not be more than 50 years in a row, the more despicable and shameless the life, the more nourishing the life, and the upright and kind people all died without corpses!

If he was worried about the difficulties of the ghosts and gods, he should not have killed in Cangzhou in the first place, and swept the local tyrants and inferior gentry into the courts. It is not time to make it clear that the carriage and horses should be redefined, and the word "shi" should be redefined, so that half of the scholars in the world regard themselves as enemies.

His strange identity and experience have doomed him to be impossible to repeat any of the paths taken by his predecessors. We can only find a new way beyond the experience and experience of our predecessors. success, then soar into the sky. If you lose, you will never recover, and in between, there is no third ending to choose from.

"If, if I can really come and go from the water, I, my Cangzhou army, my Cangzhou army, isn't it, isn't it, isn't it wings? From Liaodong to Jiangnan, you can settle down everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, and land on the shore to attack!"

"If the warship can go up the Yellow River, with the courage of Liu Chengyou, he will not dare to embarrass us again!" Pan Mei's thinking was far more active than Lao Fan, and in an instant, he made inferences from one another.

Zheng Ziming himself, because he had already put a lot of effort into planning and building a sailor in advance, was relatively conservative at the moment. He smiled and slowly responded, "The only things we can buy now are fishing boats and sand boats. The former is too small, and it doesn't have much combat power when it enters the inland river. The latter can only sail slowly close to the coast, whether it is an inland river or an open sea, it cannot adapt!"

"Then build a big ship. Build the kind of sea ship that can sail directly to the Japanese country!" Pan Mei couldn't bear the most, that is, she had no good plan, but she was limited by the actual conditions, clenched her fists, and shouted in a low voice. "Aren't you going to sell whale bones to Bianliang, let's send people out to sea right now, right now, to continue hunting whales. With the money from selling whale bones and whale meat and whale oil, he went to Jiangnan to hire the master who would build a big ship. If it really can't be done, I sent someone to tie them up!"

"Shipbuilding is not an overnight effort, and in less than three years and five years, you won't see a big ship going to sea!" Zheng Ziming smiled and told him frankly about the difficulties he is facing at present and in the future, "In addition, the masters who handle the sails, helm, and lead the navigation must be trained from scratch." It's not three years and five years, and I can't see the results!"

In the eyes of the young Pan Mei, Gao Shan, who couldn't climb at all, waved his arm and responded with a smile: "Ten years of sharpening the sword is better than sitting in a sleepy city!"

"Wu Yueguo is good at shipbuilding, and the big boats he built can go straight to Baekje. And his minister Hu Gongke Kai has just passed old this year, and now the court is full of a group of people with a small number of eyes. If we send messengers at this time, we will check up and down. Whether you want to buy a big ship, or you want to move an entire dockyard with craftsmen, it's not impossible!" Suddenly saw a golden avenue, the elder Shi Fan Zheng in his heart, and completely forgot the question of whose descendants of the whale was, and with years of political experience, he gave the most effective solution. (Note 1)

When Pan Mei heard this, her excited eyes immediately began to glow, waved her arms, and urged in a low voice, "Then as soon as possible, send someone to take a sand boat, carrying gold and silver, and go directly to the sea." Lest it be too late, Wu Yueguo has been destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty. That kind of small country with a big palm has always been precarious!"

"Not really. Fan Zheng glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "The state of Wu Yue was earlier than the Southern Tang Dynasty, and although its monarchs and ministers lacked enterprising spirit, it was more than enough to deal with the persecution of the Southern Tang Dynasty. What's more, Nan Tang has been fighting with Nan Chu recently. There is no way to free up his hands to plot against the thirteen coastal states again. ”

"Oh......" Pan Mei was a little too anxious, and finally slowly calmed down. Arching his hand, he leaned over the elder Shi slightly, "Wen Changgong's vision is wide, and the younger generation can't reach it. ”

"I've lived a long time, and I've heard a little more. Fan Zheng smiled and waved his hand with a bit of smugness. "Zhong Xun doesn't have to be too humble, it won't take three years, and you will be beyond the reach of the old man. ”

In front of Pan Mei, Tao Dachun, Li Shun, Guo Xin and other diligent and inquisitive juniors, the pressure he is under is not ordinary. Fortunately, at present, this group of teenagers is still weak in experience and experience, and their eyes are usually limited to a corner of Cangzhou. Therefore, the shelf of he, a wise elder, can still hold up for the time being. Don't show your ugliness in front of a group of grandchildren at every turn.

However, before he could get enough of the addiction of his predecessors, Li Shun'er, who didn't know when he sneaked back, suddenly interjected loudly: "Although as you always said, Wu Yueguo does not have the worry of losing the country in the near future, but we don't have much time to delay! The Youzhou Army suffered such a big loss in the spring, it is impossible not to think about getting face back." It is impossible for the emperor and the Fu family to watch us recruit troops!"

"Go up, you've got your mouth everywhere!" Fan Zheng immediately frowned and scolded in a low voice. For Li Shun'er, a "traitor" who comes from a humble background and has no respect for the elders and children in what he says and does, but is very trusted by Zheng Ziming, he is disgusted in his heart.

However, disgust is disgust, but he can't help but admit that the other party's words are very reasonable. Therefore, after a scolding, he took the initiative to lower his voice and said slowly: "Scarcity is expensive. Wu Yue and the Khitan have been cut off for many years, and the furs, medicinal herbs and war horses outside the plug can be sold at a good price in Jiangnan. When you go to Jiangnan, you should mainly take leather goods, medicinal herbs, cattle and sheep and war horses, and bring a boatload of tea or silk when you come back, and you may be able to save half of the expenses!"

"There is no shortage of leather goods and medicinal materials in the warehouse, cattle, sheep and war horses, so we can only find a way to go to the north to buy them with a lot of money! If the quantity is not large, we can make up a batch within half a month!" Zheng Ziming took over and responded in a low voice.

Fan Zheng quickly turned his body to him and added in a low voice, "Zhou Yifu, who joined the army, once followed the adult's brother-in-law to Jiangnan for many years, and he led a caravan to resume his old business, presumably he will be able to live up to the trust of the adult." In addition......"

After a little consideration, he bowed gently to Zheng Ziming again, "Fan Han, the nephew of the old man's family, is coarse and coarse. Dare to ask the lord to appoint him as a deputy and go to Hangzhou with Zhou to join the army. ”

Note 1: Wu Yue, Southern Tang, and Southern Chu were all separatist forces in Jiangnan during the Five Dynasties. Southern Chu was first exterminated by the Southern Tang, but then the Southern Tang soldiers and horses were expelled by the Chu general Liu Yan. Since then, the war in Chu has continued until it was completely wiped out by the Song army in 962. The Southern Tang Dynasty fell in 975 under the attack of Song and Wu Yue. Two and a half years later, Wu Yue took the initiative to annex and incorporated into the territory of the Song Kingdom.
