Chapter 462: Just in case of a gentleman
So there is no shadow of the combined fleet, and the commander and the general have decided first, although it is tentative, it should not change.
The commander is Li Shi, and the general is Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was the general of the expedition to the north before, and he also hung the marshal's seal, so it is impossible for him to be a deputy general, he can only be a general, a general of the water division, of course, it is still temporary.
But no matter what you say, Xiao Chen has fought a naval battle, and that naval battle is the only great victory of the Great Zhou Naval Division! So in terms of experience, he has a little more than coach Li Shi.
Li Shishi has never fought a water war at all.
Farewell to the emperor Li Shi couldn't help but say that he pulled Xiao Chen to the palace, you kid didn't have the consent of the king, and you didn't report to the king in advance, you directly put the king on the fire to roast, and you want to go back to sleep and think about the beauty!
"Lord Wang, my butt hurts after sitting for a day in this life, and I can't sit still, you let me go back and take a nap, we can see you tomorrow morning." Xiao Chen was really a little tired.
"Can't sit still? You now know what it's like for this king to sit all day, right? It doesn't matter if you can't sit still, then you kid just kneel! Li Shidao.
"Then I'll sit and listen to the prince's teachings." Xiao Chen immediately succumbed.
"How dare this king teach you, or you teach this king, this king doesn't understand water warfare at all, what do you mean by letting me be the boss, you kid? Don't you want me to die! Li Shidao.
"If the prince really doesn't want to be the boss, Chen Ming'er will play the emperor and let someone else do it." Xiao Chen said.
"Nonsense, who said that this king doesn't want to do it?" Li Shi said loudly.
"Then why didn't the minister see the prince rewarding it?" Xiao Chen looked left and right, "If you don't have gold and silver, forget it, don't even reward the minister with a cup of tea, this throat and eyes are smoking!" ”
"Hahaha, I'll give you a slap in the face! Come on for tea! Li Shi smiled.
Li Shi was very grateful to Xiao Chen.
If Xiao Chen didn't recommend himself, he really didn't think of taking the initiative to ask for help.
Xiao Chen didn't treat him as disabled, but he himself subconsciously regarded himself as an incompetent person who couldn't go to the battlefield.
He is also a person who has commanded thousands of armies and horses, but he has not been in battle for a long time, and the sword hanging on the wall may not have been touched for a long time, but I am afraid that it may have rusted.
Now that there was a sudden opportunity to go to war, the dormant pride was immediately aroused, so that it was impossible to keep calm.
And this matter is of great significance to him, because he has been in charge of trivial matters such as the Ministry of Industry for many years, and he has worked hard and exhausted, although the emperor has repeatedly rewarded him, but it is only hard work and no merit.
Although the emperor has put him in charge of the ministry now, which can be regarded as a heavy responsibility, this errand is only hard work, not merit.
If you do it well, you should do it, and if you don't do it well, you will be mediocre and incompetent!
Besides, he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to do it, because the officials were too important and too sensitive, as long as one was not careful, he would be labeled as a party and a private business!
For example, the appointment list sent by Xiao Chen last time, he actually agreed, but he didn't dare to accept Xiao Chen in person.
There is no way, in his position, he has to be cautious and walk on thin ice.
But leading troops to fight is different, as long as he personally takes command of the battle, he will be a big plus in the emperor's heart, and no matter whether he wins or loses, he will win the respect of the Manchu civil and military officers.
Because he has proven his ability and endurance in handling political affairs, he already has a lot of weight in the hearts of civilian officials, and what is missing now is military achievements, because his influence in the army is negligible and extremely limited.
No one among those generals looked down on him, because he was disabled, and when he didn't understand military affairs, they were quite estranged from him.
As we all know, Li Wanjiang is the emperor immediately, so the current Great Zhou is a martial atmosphere, which is also the reason why Li Feng, the king of Fengyang, Li Wanyun, the king of Zhongcheng, Zhu Xiaochuan, the prince of Jinyi, and Murong Heng, the prince of Zhenxi, are overweight in the court.
Now that he finally has the opportunity to lead the troops to prove himself, how can he not like it?
But after liking it, he was apprehensive, because he hadn't led troops to fight for a long time, and secondly, he was really not familiar with water warfare, and he couldn't help but have no bottom in his heart when he commanded this huge combined fleet.
Only then did he find Xiao Chen and ask him about it.
Since you kid roasted this king on the fire, you can't watch this king being scorched!
"Lord, you're not the only one who was roasted on the fire, I also roasted it with you on skewers, don't forget." Xiao Chen said.
"Can your boy's life be compared to that of this king? It doesn't matter if you burn to ashes, this king can't miss a single hair. Li Shidao.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be ruthless!" Xiao Chen said he was shocked.
"It's not that this king is ruthless, it's that military law is ruthless, and now this king is the commander, and I order you to immediately plan a perfect strategy for me to win, otherwise you will be engaged in military law, and you will be stabbed in the head." Li Shi said with a straight face.
"Lord Wang, you have also led soldiers, how can there be a way to win this war?" Xiao Chen said with a bitter face.
"I don't care, anyway, my coach was recommended by you, and you have to be responsible for it to the end." Li Shidao.
"Actually, I don't understand, the last time I encountered the Dongying fleet at sea, it was commanded by two generals, Liu Haishan and Lin Zirui, these two are familiar with water warfare, I also have a little friendship with them, and I have fought side by side, and when they come to meet the prince, the prince can consult them." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, I don't need to say this, I will naturally ask, who else is available?" Li Shi felt that with Xiao Chen's shrewdness, he would never risk his life, if he only let himself take risks, but if he also had to follow, then he must be a little sure, or there must be one or several people under him who are very familiar with water warfare.
"There is a person under the minister, who says that he can fight water wars, but the minister who can't do it has no bottom in his heart, maybe he is just talking on paper, oh, his name is Li Ling." Xiao Chen took advantage of the situation to pull Dugulou out of the field.
"Li Ling, haven't you heard of this person?" Of course, Li Shi hadn't heard of it, because it was just a pseudonym.
"He's just an unknown person, but the minister thinks he's almost okay." Although Xiao Chen's words were ambiguous, Li Shi knew that this person would definitely do it.
"How is that Zhuge Xiaosheng under you?" Li Shi had heard of Zhuge Xiaosheng's name.
"Xiaosheng can't do it, he's sick, and he's not free now, he's repairing the city for me." Xiao Chen said.
"What city to build?" Li Shi was stunned, this winter.
"Xiao Cheng." Xiao Chen said, "The people below are messing around, the new city named after the minister is on the east side of Changshan Mountain, the minister is afraid that they will attack the northern tribes in the future again, and there is no danger to defend the west of Yanyun County, right?" You can only build a city on the main road of Changshan...... It's better than nothing, just in case a gentleman counts. ”
Li Shixin said that your kid really wants to guard against the northern Xinjiang tribes? Or do you want to protect my father?
I don't know.
