Chapter 379: Jing Navy!

Lao Zhu heard Princess Lin'an's complaints, and became short of breath on the spot.

"Good, good!"

"Let's not talk about it, as long as you're all right, we'll be blind even if we're dead!"

When Princess Lin'an saw her father say this, she turned her anger and gave Lao Zhu a bowl of egg drop soup.

Lao Zhu's favorite food is not a precious thing, a bowl of egg drop soup with a few green vegetable leaves floating can make him dry two bowls of rice.

When Lao Zhu was enjoying the joy of family with his beloved daughter, Zhu Yunxi had already started a busy day.

Zhu Yunxi first went to the ironware workshop outside the Taiping Gate and watched the transplantation of the lower steam engine.

Although the ironwork workshop only changed the power source from water power to steam power, the transmission device of the workshop also needed to be adjusted and modified appropriately.

After Zhu Yunxi visited the renovation work of the steam workshop, he went straight to the scientific research institute located in the Hope School, and after giving a few instructions on the work of steam spinning machines and textile machines, he changed into a set of civilian clothes and gave lectures to the students of key classes.

There is no way, at present, his status as a lecturer is irreplaceable, and he can only do it himself.

While Zhu Yunxi was holding chalk and explaining advanced mathematics and physics courses to the students, the Jinghai Navy Camp outside the city also ushered in a new commander.

Because Zhu Yunxi had just knocked out the secretary of the military department, plus a squire of the military department, and several small people in the military department, the entire six departments were very respectful to him.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhu Yunxi didn't directly click them with a knife and re-sentenced them.

After all, everyone is out to be an official and eat, who doesn't want to have a good-natured boss?

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Officials obviously saw that there was something wrong with the holy decree, and at first glance it was not the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor, but they still issued a document to Li Qi very simply.

Moreover, they did something that could have been done in at least three days, but they only took one hour to complete it.

Li Qi held the paperwork that had not yet dried the ink, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If it was placed ten years ago, when his father was not dead, he didn't need the face of the crown prince and the crown prince, just his father's face, no one dared to drag on the paperwork!

Li Qi sighed slightly, and took the paperwork to report.

He's been idle for years, and if he doesn't do anything, he feels like he's a waste.

Li Qi came to the outside of the Jinghai naval camp, just looked at the barracks of the barracks, and felt different from other barracks in the Ming Dynasty.

There are no barricades such as fences or barricades, only whitewashed brick walls and large painted iron gates.

Looking through the gap in the iron gate, you can't see the tent, only rows of neat and orderly houses.

Li Qi is very satisfied with this, not to mention the strength of this military camp, just talking about this environment will beat the Ming army.

When Li Qi was looking around through the crack in the door, he suddenly heard a sound from inside.

"Who!"

"This is an important place in the military camp, and idle people are not allowed to watch it!"

When Li Qi heard this, he hurriedly stood up straight and looked at the little soldier who spoke lightly.

"This officer is the new commander!"

"Is there any paperwork?"

"Yes!"

"Bring it!"

Li Qi handed the paperwork in, and just wanted to say a few words, he saw Xiaobing explain a few words to the people on the side, and ran away.

"What about people!"

"What do you mean by this, are you afraid that this official is a fake?"

When Li Qi was so angry that he jumped to his feet, in the envoy duty room of the Jing Haijun Command, Fu Youde saw the appointment document sent by Xiaobing, and couldn't help but smile and threw it to Tang He, who was in a wheelchair on the side.

"The real commander of the Jing Navy is here!"

Tang He looked at the appointment paperwork, shook his head with a wry smile, and said.

"How old are we both, and we're still fighting with a junior?"

"But Li Qi is also considered lucky, if others are involved in their family's affairs, even if they don't die, they will be wasted in this life."

"Do you still want to be an official, and you still want to be in charge of the army?"

"Dream on!"

Fu Youde smiled teasingly when he heard this.

"There's no way, who will let the family marry well!"

When Tang He heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, and scolded while laughing.

"Why did you get Feng Dazui's problem!"

"Don't forget, your son is also a colt and has married His Majesty's daughter!"

Fu Youde said with a smile.

"Just kidding!"

"But the old man has long known that his own commander is temporary, as long as His Majesty finds the right person, he will immediately kick me aside."

Tang He nodded and said.

"It's inevitable!"

"His Majesty the Emperor's rights need to be handed over, and our rights need to be handed over."

"It's just that His Majesty the Emperor has a good holy grandson, and we don't have a good grandson at home!"

When Fu Youde heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

This is the most helpless, they worked hard to earn a knighthood, and when it came time to inherit, they found that none of the children in the family had become a weapon.

"Forget it!"

"Don't think about this yet, let's go and greet the commander and the fellow intellectual!"

When Tang He heard this, his eyelids drooped on the spot.

"No, no!"

"How can the old man say that he is also an elder, even when the superior sees the old man, he has to call the old man brother, how can he go to greet the junior of the Li family?"

Fu Youde is much younger than Lao Zhu and Tang He, but now that he hears that Tang He is selling the old, he is not willing to greet him.

"Okay!"

"Let's just sit here and wait for that kid from Li Qi to come and see you!"

"Order someone to open the camp gate and let the new commander in!"

"No!"

Not long after, Li Qi came to the duty room under the leadership of Xiaobing, and after seeing Tang Shuai still sitting in the duty room, the resentment in Li Qi's heart dissipated in an instant.

He originally thought that there was only one Fu Youde, but he thought that there was a Tang Laoshuai hidden in the small Jing Navy!

"The younger generation has seen Uncle Tang, and I have seen Uncle Fu."

Fu Youde said with a straight face and a businesslike tone.

"It's not about relatives here, it's just about military duty!"

"This official is the commander of the capital, and you will be the deputy of this official in the future."

"There are the regulations of the Jing Navy, as well as the new book of Ji Xiao written by the emperor's grandson himself, you can take it back and read it carefully, and if you don't understand anything, please come and ask me at any time."

"Your check-in ......"

"Come on, take Li Tongzhi to his duty room!"

"No!"

When Li Qi saw this scene, he had no choice but to extinguish the idea of catching up with Fu Youde and Tang Shuai, hugged a pile of documents on the table, and followed the soldiers outside the door to his duty room.

After Li Qi left, Fu Youde shook his head with a smile and said.

"It's still too tender, it's far worse than Li Xiangguo back then!"

Tang and Wenyan echoed.

"Li Xiangguo is praised by the superior as a talent comparable to Xiao He, how can Li Qi, this kid, be compared?"

"However, you don't talk about it at all, it's a little unreasonable, right?"

Fu Youde smiled when he heard this.

"What's there you can't say?"

"This kid is obviously found by the imperial grandson to contain me, no matter how much I try to get in touch with him, it's useless!"

"Let's put it this way, this kid's greatest value is to go against me!"

When Tang He heard this, he gave Fu Youde a thumbs up.

In the military of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many people who can afford Tang He, and Fu Youde is definitely the number one.

Because Fu Youde knows how to advance and retreat, knows the importance of the matter, never loves the power of the stack, and has been thinking about how to retreat bravely in the rapids and protect himself.

Fu Youde took out a new book of Ji Xiao from the drawer and threw it to Tang He.

"Tang Shuai, don't be idle, help the imperial grandson

Perfect this book!"

Tang He took the book and flipped through it, gritting his teeth and saying.

"His grandmother's, I don't know which guy compiled the war book for the emperor's grandson, and it was so well written!"

Fu Youde smiled when he heard this, and took out another one from the drawer.

This book can be read by almost everyone in their barracks, and all officers in the army who have more than 100 households must read this book by heart. Even if you can't memorize it backwards, you have to mention the degree to which you know the next sentence.

Moreover, the exam is taken every ten days and a half months, and whoever does well in the exam is promoted, and those who do poorly are directly demoted by one level.

At present, the drills, training, and passwords of the soldiers of the Jing Navy are all practiced in accordance with this book, and even Fu Youde and Tang He cannot interfere.

At first, the two were quite angry, and always wanted to use their years of experience to correct it.

However, after reading the training subjects and training results, the two veterans collectively shut up, turned to hide in the duty room to study this military book, and dug out their hearts to find faults.

"It's hard to find faults, but you have to pick a few, or it seems that we are too incompetent......

When Fu Youde and Tang He racked their brains to find faults, Li Qi also opened Ji Xiao's new book and read it carefully.

Compared with the daily regulations of the Jing Navy, the new book of discipline is much more interesting.

At the very least, he didn't have to guess why it was forbidden to drink raw water in the army, and why he wrote more than 30 health regulations alone......

However, after reading Ji Xiao's new book for a while, Li Qi was suddenly shocked by the content of the book.

This book is so well written, almost hand-in-hand to teach people how to select, train, and use soldiers!

Even a person like him, who is completely ignorant of military affairs, knows how to command the army and train the army after reading this book.

After Li Qi was excited, he ran to Fu Youde's duty room and asked excitedly.

"Lord Commander, dare to ask if this military book is from the hands of the two princes?"

Tang He and Fu Youde were picking fault with the short soldier chapter in the book, when they suddenly heard Li Qi's words, they felt as uncomfortable as eating fly feces.

"No!"

"How can we two wastes make up such a good war book!"

"Huh?"

Li Qi heard Fu Youde's lion roar, and retreated with a depressed face.

It's not made up by the two old marshals, could it be that it was made up by the emperor's grandson?

No way!

How old is the imperial grandson, and how many battles have he fought?

Could it be Sapphire?

Li Qi turned the book to the last page and saw the words "Zhu Yunxi" written in the author's column, and immediately knew why the two veterans were angry.

The imperial grandson really dared to write......

It's just that he doesn't want to think about it, even if he goes down all over the world and says that he wrote this book, will anyone believe it?

Li Qi didn't believe it either, but Li Qi firmly believed that this book of war had no ancients before and no one after it, and it was definitely worth thinking about seriously.

Li Qi wanted to read this new book in the duty room, but he didn't admit that he had read it for less than two hours before he heard a rapid drum beat outside the window.

At this moment, Fu Youde pushed open his door and shouted at him.

"It's time for dinner, why don't you go to the cafeteria for some food?"

"Cafeteria?"

Fu Youde saw that Li Qi was like a stupid bird, so he knocked his head in annoyance.

"I almost forgot, the first day you came, you didn't understand a lot of the rules here."

"Come with the old man, the old man will take you to the cafeteria!"

When Li Qi heard this, he hurriedly followed Fu Youde outside.

Fu Youde led Li Qi to a house closest to the duty room, and pointed to several houses of the same specification in the distance.

"This is the first canteen, also known as the officers' canteen."

"But it's not all officers, and the people from the pro-barracks eat here."

Fu Youde led Li Qi into the cafeteria, but Li Qi looked down the steps

The sergeant, who was standing neatly, asked puzzled.

"Why didn't they go in?"

"Do you have to wait for the officers to finish eating before they can go in and eat?"

Fu Youde sneered when he heard this.

"How is that possible?"

"This is the least polite thing to do."

"In the Jinghai Naval Camp, except for the imperial grandson, you and I don't have to queue, everyone else has to line up to eat according to the army number."

"Because the canteen is too small and there are too many sergeants, it can't accommodate so many people to eat together at the same time, so it can only be divided into several batches."

Li Qi nodded when he heard this, feeling that his strange knowledge had increased again. However, just as he was thinking this, a loud singing voice suddenly came from behind him.

Seeing this, Li Qi hurriedly looked back, only to see the soldier who had just stood at the bottom of the steps, singing a military song with a strange tune.

What surprised him even more was that several phalanxes sang differently, as if they were competing with someone's voice.

Here they sing about falling leaves, green flowers in the army, and on the other hand, they sing what they want to say, and they want to be homesick and so on.

Li Qi saw that Fu Youde had entered the door, and hurriedly chased after him to ask.

"Commander, what kind of work are you doing outside the door?"

Fu Youde was holding his hands behind his back, stretching out his head to look at the vegetable bowl at the rice window, to see if there was any dish he liked to eat. Hearing Li Qi ask like this, he said angrily.

"How do you know why!"

"It's not the emperor's grandson's orders, what do you say that singing can lift your spirits!"

"Anyway, what does the imperial grandson say, how reasonable, let's just do it!"

"That old Fan, give me a portion of the braised pork, as well as the fried yellow croaker and fried vegetables!"

"Just have some rice, the old man will make a mat, and you have to eat it when you go home at night!"

When the chef heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

"Okay!"

"One braised pork, one yellow croaker...... By the way, all the commanders are envoys, there is a new arrival from Danzhou today, do you want to have a try?"

"The one that crunched with a bite?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Then let's have one, just in time for the sake of food!"

Fu Youde went to the side to eat after finishing the meal, and Li Qi looked at a dozen dishes, only to feel that his scalp was numb.

Whose sergeant eats so well?

According to the emperor's grandson, the cost of raising troops in a year is not more than one million taels!

Although Li Qi felt very distressed, he was unambiguous when he ordered, and ordered one of each dish.

Seeing this, the chef couldn't help but remind.

"My lord, we have rules in the barracks, and no officers or soldiers are allowed to have leftovers."

"Whoever has leftovers will be punished with a whip!"

When Li Qi heard this, he hurriedly removed a few dishes.

He came to the Jing Navy on the first day today, but he didn't want to be whipped for such a trivial matter.

Li Qi came to Fu Youde's table with a plate and sat down, and asked.

"That's how everyone in the army is fed?"

"Yes!"

"How much did it cost that month?"

"Are you asking about eating, or all of them?"

"Eat!"

"Nearly 30,000 taels of food per month."

When Li Qi heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart.

What kind of army does the imperial grandson raise, it's a gold-swallowing beast!

"Dare to ask the commander, what is the total monthly military expenditure?"

"That's a lot!"

"If you count them all, let's say 100,000 taels a month!"

"And that's not even counting the wear and tear of the ordnance during training, if you count it all, it can only be more!"

"Uh-uh......"

When Li Qi heard this, he was so surprised that he even forgot to eat.

If Fu Youde didn't lie to himself

Wouldn't the emperor's grandson's Jing Navy cost more than one million taels of silver a year?

This is just a recruit, a recruit who just eats, sleeps, and trains every day!

If there is a war in the future, the daily silver shall not be like flowing water.

"How much ...... has been allocated by the imperial court?"

When Fu Youde heard this, he was also a little angry in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to keep an old face and ask the military department and the household department to ask for money. But the people from the household department and the military department, after hearing about the food expenses here, none of the eldest sons were willing to give it.

According to their words, the border army that is fighting with *** is spending less than half of your monthly expenses. If we give you another allocation, the border army will not be able to rebel en masse!

Therefore, Fu Youde spent half a month in the military department and the household department, and he didn't get a penny.

"No money!"

"Now the whole Jing Navy is raised by the emperor's grandson!"

"The old man, the commander of the envoys, is all sent by the emperor's grandson!"

Fu Youde said these words angrily, and said to Li Qi seriously.

"You're actually quite on the right path to come to the Jing Navy."

"You haven't been in the army before, you haven't developed the bad habits of other armies, so you can easily adapt to the rhythm here."

"The old man can't do it anymore, he doesn't like it everywhere in the barracks, but he can't intervene everywhere, and he always feels that he can't keep up with the pace of the emperor's grandson!"

After Fu Youde said this, he ate quietly, and after eating, he threw down the plate and ran away.

Normally, Fu Youde should have delivered the dinner plate to the designated location, but whoever made him the biggest official in the Jing Navy, as long as the imperial grandson was not there, no one would be able to control him.

While pondering Fu Youde's words, Li Qi ate with a lot of heart, thinking about how to gain a foothold in the Jing Navy in the future.

As he pondered these things, a young sergeant saluted and placed a plate on his table.

"Report, can you sit here?"

Li Qi saw that it was a small soldier standing guard at his door during the day, and immediately smiled at him.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the soldier sat down and ate his meal in a big gulp. Looking at the gobbling up, it looks like he hasn't eaten in hundreds of years.

Li Qi was thinking about how to carry out his work, and when he saw Xiaobing eating like this, he hurriedly showed his humanistic care.

"Eat slowly!"

"There's no one to rob you here!"

The little soldier didn't even raise his head, and muttered.

"Yes!"

"If you eat slowly, you can't serve it a second time......

The little soldier ate all the food on the plate, hurriedly ran to the line, and refilled the plate of rice.

Li Qi keenly found that the amount of rice served by Xiao Bing was different on two occasions, and the first time was obviously much less, only about half a plate of rice. The second time it was much more, full of a large plate of rice, piled up like a hill.

Xiao Bing finished his meal again, happily returned to Fu Youde's table, and ate slowly.

Seeing this, Li Qi asked curiously.

"You have different amounts of rice twice, right?"

When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly "shhh

"Shhhhhh

"This is my food snatching stunt!"

"If you put too much for the first time, you won't be able to grab the opportunity to add more rice when you eat all the food on the plate!"

Li Qi asked puzzled.

"The imperial grandson won't let you have enough to eat?"

The little soldier immediately shook his head.

"No, no!"

"The imperial grandson is a good person, for fear that we will not have enough to eat. It's the steward in the cafeteria, and in order to keep us from having leftovers, he always cooks less food for a few people."

"If you eat slowly, won't someone have to eat enough?"

"Oh yes, what's your name?"

"Wang Jianlin!"
