Chapter 160: The Governor of the Navy

The Black Pearl Pirate Regiment is back, it should be said that the first generation of the Black Pearl Pirate Regiment, now they are the Third Fleet of the Combined Fleet, but the imperial court is now in a hurry, Zhang Liang is not enough to succeed and more than defeated, and the original bad cards are not played without cards, and there is no Tang Dynasty under the command of the sailor, and now there is Li Xiaogong, the king of the old Hejian County, but when the old prince heard that Zhang Liang was finished, he immediately pretended to be sick and pretended to be dead, which made Li Er and the court very helpless, it was really invincible in land warfare, and this sea was sparse, and now the Taizhou Sailor can be said to have been abolished, Laizhou, The sailors in the two places in Dengzhou also abandoned their martial arts for a long time, and when they saw that their sailors were about to be finished, Li Er was in a hurry, and the teacup fell several times, and he wanted to kill Zhang Liang several times, if it wasn't for those Longxi nobles to protect him, Zhang Liang's sin would not be enough to die a hundred times.

"Keming, what do you do now? Taizhou's sailors can't go on like this. ”

Du Ruhui wanted to say to the camera, hey, old iron, I haven't seen you for a long time, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, the two prime ministers, seem to be busy with government affairs every day, there are not many big things, there are a lot of small things, if you want to talk about the big thing now, it is the big thing of Zhang Liang's goods, the one hundred and fifty warships of the Taizhou Navy Division have all been wiped out and lost, and now the total number of the entire Datang Navy Division is less than three hundred warships, and most of them are in disrepair, and there are even ships left over from the early stage, such ships, I am afraid that they will sink before they go to sea, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at the investigation of the sailor during this time, and their brains were about to explode, this is okay, according to the current investigation results, our Tang Navy division can't even beat the Goguryeo sailor, the main thing is Zhang Liang's two goods, for his own selfish desires, let the most elite sailor warship go to the sea to do business, you did it, it's nothing, the key is that you fucking got wiped out, not to mention that the emperor wants to kill you, my old Du will kill you, he doesn't know how to wipe this ass.

"Sage, judging from the number of statistics from Zhongshu Province, now our naval division can no longer continue to fight, Dengzhou, Laizhou naval division warships are in disrepair all year round, there are not enough soldiers, now there are less than 60 large warships that can stand, after this battle, the Taizhou naval division after this battle, there are only 21 large warships left, and now our naval division has less than 200 large and small warships."

Li Er flipped the table directly after hearing this, is this still playing with yarn? He also counted on him to go to Goguryeo in the future, and the sailor would be able to help him, but now it's okay, just scrap it, he has a feeling that he won't play anymore, let's put it badly, but as an emperor, he can't give up on himself, he held back the anger in his heart and continued to ask.

"Does the sailor still have the strength to fight?"

Du Ruhui scolded Niang Xipi in his heart, you are an emperor who was born as a military general, you understand things so well, and ask him why is a civil official? Du Ruhui took a deep breath and calmed down and replied.

"No, we don't even have the ability to defend now, I have a long coastline, and I can't defend myself at all by relying on these ships, not to mention Goguryeo or the Wa Kingdom, even pirates can't defend against it."

I can't help it, I don't have to endure it anymore, flip over the table, Li Er said just do it, overturned the desk in front of him, and scolded angrily.

"Zhang Liang should be damned, this bastard should be cut with a thousand knives, my sailor, now he can't even prevent it from his own door."

Datang, including those later emperors, did not pay attention to coastal defense, and he Li Er was no exception, he was angry that the sailor who spent so much money to get out of the water was lost like this, he was heartbroken money, as Li Er's henchman, how could Du Ruhui not know what his master was thinking, he didn't dare to move Zhang Liang, although Zhang Liang was dead and innocent, but behind Zhang Liang were Longxi nobles, these people, Li Er was still afraid, they mastered a part of the Tang Dynasty's army, and it was not good, and the world was in chaos again, So Li Er has been forbearing, Du Ruhui waited for Li Er to finish his anger and said.

"The saint is angry, the most important thing now is to quickly find a general who can lead the water division, and then rebuild the water division."

"Yes, that's right, Aiqing can have any suggestions."

After Li Erping calmed down, he heard Du Ruhui's suggestion and felt that it coincided with what he thought, the so-called thing had happened, so he had to find a way to correct it.

"As the so-called three armies are easy to obtain, one general is hard to find, most of the generals of our dynasty are land generals, and there are almost no people who really understand water warfare, but the king of Hejian County understands that the water division was created by the old prince alone, and he can be asked to be the governor of the water division and govern the water division of the world."

"Uncle Wang is indeed the best candidate, but I'm afraid he won't want to."

Li Xiaogong is of course the best candidate, but he is also as Li Er said, he is unwilling, 10,000 unwilling, what happened back then, he and the emperor have gone on a strange path, he is also disheartened about the government, and now he spends all day drinking, hoping that his sons will give birth to a few grandchildren to play, and his daughter will give him a little grandson as soon as possible, especially now Li Xueyan's gold shop is making a lot of money, what else is he pursuing, his current pursuit is to live longer, Du Ruhui is an old courtier, of course, he knows what happened back then, also knows Li Er's concerns and Li Xiaogong's thoughts, but now there is really no one, otherwise he would not mention Li Xiaogong.

"Sage, talk to the old prince, see what he means, it is best for him to go out of the mountain, if he doesn't want to, you can also ask him who he recommends."

"It's so good, then there is Lao Aiqing."

After Du Ruhui received the order, he set off towards Li Xiaogong's Hejian County Palace, and as soon as he arrived at the Hejian County Palace, he saw someone hanging a white cloth and a white lantern outside the gate. He hurriedly asked people to stop, he hurriedly ran to the palace of the king of Hejian County, and saw these people hanging white cloth and white lanterns, they were still wearing mourning clothes, and everyone showed sad expressions, he thought to himself, it would not be true, he comforted himself, he grabbed a subordinate and asked.

"You maintain and hang white cloth and wear mourning clothes, but what happened in the house?"

Those subordinates all knew Du Ruhui, and the subordinates bowed respectfully to him and said.

"My lord, it's our lord, alas, God has no eyes, woo woo~"

As soon as he spoke, he started crying, when Du Ruhui heard it, everyone was going to explode, wouldn't he be so unlucky? Just said to persuade the old prince, others have not arrived, people are gone, this is not a play, he doesn't care about the Taotao crying people, quickly ran into the yard, what he saw was the white cloth hanging everywhere, the people were wearing mourning clothes, he came to the front hall is, what mourning hall coffins are placed, he slowly walked towards the coffin with weak legs, he was afraid to see that it was Li Xiaogong in the past, but he couldn't help but look, when he walked to the side of the coffin, closed his eyes and continued to take a deep breath, telling himself in his heart, no, no, no, Then slowly opened his eyes, and was immediately frightened by the scene in front of him and fell to the ground, it turned out that it was indeed Li Xiaogong lying inside, but this guy was not dead, lying in it and eating snacks, Li Xiaogong saw that he was scared of Du Ruhui, he was also embarrassed, so he stood up and asked the servant to help him down, seeing that Li Xiaogong was not dead, this can make Du Ruhui angry, you are not dead What are you doing hanging white cloth and wearing mourning clothes, my heart is not good, and I pretend to be dead in broad daylight to scare me, you are not human, Du Ruhui is very aggrieved.

"Du Xiang, don't come unharmed."

Seeing Li Xiaogong's hippie smiling face and his own salute, Du Ruhui really wanted to call him on his face with a shoe, but he said angrily.

"Lord, what are you doing here?"

"Du Xiang, please sit, eat some snacks and drink some tea, this tea was specially sent to me by my son-in-law from Huating, it tastes good."

The two of them drank tea and ate snacks on the edge of the mourning hall, how strange and strange it was, Du Ruhui endured it for the sake of national affairs.

"Lord Wang, your life is good, and you are still playing the trick of borrowing corpses to return souls."

"Alas, Du Xiang, you don't know, I'm old and sick, I used to fight with the Emperor Taishang when I was young, and I fell into a lot of diseases, some time ago, Lang Zhong said that my body was not good, so I pondered, if I die suddenly, the family will definitely be chaotic, like what my son-in-law said, right to the rehearsal, so come to a rehearsal in advance, and I won't be in a hurry when the time comes, I don't want to scare Du Xiang you, it's a sin."

Du Ruyan was speechless, thinking that you Li Yong still know this? Teach your father-in-law to rehearse the dinner in advance? Or do you son-in-law know how to play?

"The prince is too worried, I think the prince is in good health, and it will be no problem to live for another hundred years."

"Then I won't be the old king, but the old decay is really not good, don't talk about Chang'an now, it's hard to even go out of the house."

How can such a smart person as Du Ruhui not know the meaning of this old fox's words, that is, I am sick now, very serious, and I can't go far, what kind of sailor you are looking for Don't come to me, find someone else, I don't participate, understand it, this matter still has to be said, Du Ruhui asked cheekily.

"In this case, Xia Guan has something to ask the prince today, I don't know ......"

"Father, hey, Du Xiang is also here, Huating Hou Li is polite, Dad, the shop lost two taels of silver today."

"What, God's business, why did you tell me so late, my silver, Du Xiang, you sit, I still have something to do here, I want to be busy, let's talk later."

Du Ruyan watched Li Xiaogong and Li Xueyan's father and daughter leave the palace in a daze, are you insulting my IQ? Are you running so fast, like you're dying? And you Li Xueyan, I haven't seen you so literate before, and now what is the Huating Hou Li family, the most important thing is two taels of silver, for your dignified Hejian Palace, is it money? As far as the gold shop you helped Li Yong run, how much gold and silver was collected, it was simply a gold-swallowing beast, and you still cared about these two taels of silver? was insulted, Du Ruhui was also messed up, and he didn't leave the palace.

"Bring new tea to Benxiang, change it to new snacks, and I'll wait here for your prince to come back."

The servants didn't dare to offend Du Ruhui, he would do whatever he said, anyway, the prince had explained, and he was waiting for him, in addition, Li Xiaogong and his baby daughter were walking on the street in the carriage, Li Xueyan said a little worriedly.

"Dad, isn't it bad for us to do this? Aren't you afraid of offending the saints? ”

Li Xiaogong sneered.

"What are you afraid of, your father has no official position now, and I can do it for those officials, saint, hmph, if it wasn't for him back then, your mother wouldn't have it, forget it, don't say it, anyway, they want to pick up the mess of the water master, it's impossible, although the water master was started by me, but the current water master has long been the water master of the year, just look at Zhang Liang's little bastard, and give the good Taizhou water master a disaster, this matter, I think your husband is right, we can't participate, whoever likes to be who should go, and, when will you go to Huating, don't you want to give birth to a grandson for your father and me? ”

"Daddy~"

Li Xueyan originally listened to the first half of the paragraph, which urged her to have a child, she received a message from a yellow flower girl, her pretty face was flushed, others did not live, as Li Yong's wife and concubine, they agreed early on to wait for Li Yong and him to have a child, but Li Xueyan felt that her father was right, it was time for her to go to Huating, because there was nothing to do in Chang'an, the business of the gold shop was on the right track, and she didn't need to do anything at all, Zheng Liwan had gone south some time ago.

"It's not that Dad said you, how long have you been apart as husband and wife? Needless to say, I'll go over tomorrow, how can a married daughter run to her parents' house all day long, so it's decided. ”

Li Xueyan nodded, in fact, she also wanted to go south, but she couldn't rest assured that she was an unreliable father, you see that he was trying to escape the will of the saint today, the coffin spirit hall came out, this is still her, if she is not around, I don't know what this old man has done, Li Xiaogong's sons are not around, they were all sent by him to the border to be soldiers, only one young son is by his side, because of his young age, his nature is still wooden, who takes care of anyone can't say, no way, Li Xueyan has always stayed by his side to take care of him, but looking at the current situation, his father is determined to let himself go south, she doesn't understand, she knows that her father is protecting her. Speaking of Du Ruhui, he didn't see Li Xiaogong come back until the evening, he knew that this old guy would not go home, the ghost knew where to go and be happy, his butt was hurting, so he had no choice but to go home first, he guessed right, in a green building in Kangle Fang, the old man was hugging a young and beautiful girl to talk about life. On the second day, Li Xueyan left Chang'an under the protection of the guards, took his own merchant ship down the river, and went to meet her husband.

"Minister Li Xiaogong see the saint."

"Uncle Wang, hurry up and excuse me."

Li Er looked at the old fox in front of him, but said politely.

"Thank you, saint."

"Come on, take a seat for Uncle Wang."

Li Xiaogong also sat directly on the seat unceremoniously.

"Sage, I don't know why you summoned me this time?"

Li Er handed Du Ruhui a look that you said, Du Ruhui understood, the two of them naturally couldn't escape Li Xiaogong's eyes, he just pretended not to see it, Du Ruhui saluted Li Xiaogong and said.

"Lord Wang, you must know about the Taizhou Sailor."

"I know, just cut that Liang directly, peel it and hang it on the flagpole of Chang'an City."

Li Xiaogong said disdainfully, Li Er and Du Ruhui couldn't help twitching the corners of their eyes, good guy, what you said is light, if you can do this, we will wait for you to say, he Zhang Liang has been like this a long time ago, the problem is that they can't move Zhang Liang now, Du Ruhui said patiently.

"Lord Wang, you also know that now that the relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, Zhang Liang will be tried by the three divisions and give the people of the world a result."

"Hey, then what else is there to say, anyway, these things are your and the sage's business, and the old man who didn't take care of Zongzheng Temple didn't intervene."

"Old fox!" Li Er and Du Ruhui said together in their hearts.

"Lord Wang, in fact, this time the saint recruited you for something else, that is, the problem of my Chaoshui Master now, now my Chaoshui Master is weak, and the Shui Master was created by you, so I want to ask you to go out of the mountain and reorganize the ...... of the Shui Division."

"Stop, Du Xiang, correct it, I am not the only one who created the water master, I am just responsible for the person who takes the lead, I am old, and now I am dizzy even when I ride in the carriage, how can such a remnant still be responsible for this great task, you can find someone else."

Li Xiaogong didn't wait for Du Ruhui to finish speaking and directly interrupted him, without giving him and Li Er face at all, at this time Li Er's face was a little unbearable.

"Then in that case, does Uncle Wang have a recommendation? Now we are all land generals, and I really can't find a general in water warfare. ”

Li Er couldn t help it, and let the old guy go on like this, there was no need to continue this conversation, he went straight to the point, Li Xiaogong frowned and thought about it.

"Not really, I don't pay enough attention to the water master, so I can't think of anyone here for a while."

"Uncle Wang, I know what happened back then, you are angry in your heart, but you also know that a certain person was also forced to be helpless back then, and now Sheji is in danger, and the battle of Taizhou of the Navy Division, it can be said that you don't even have the ability to defend your home, do you just watch our Li family's Sheji destroyed in your hands and me?"

What Li Er means is, if you don't agree to go out of the mountain, no problem, then you always have to recommend someone to me for face, right? How could Li Xiaogong not know what this meant, but he really didn't have a candidate, his nephew was right, he was dissatisfied in his heart, but Jiangshan Sheji As a descendant of the Li family, he was responsible, otherwise why did he rebel with his cousin back then, it was impossible for him to go out of the mountain, but he had to find a suitable candidate for him, so that he could get out, suddenly a person appeared in his mind, and then he smiled.

"Sage, is this Governor of the Water Division in charge of the world's Water Division?"

"Of course."

"Then this person must not only be familiar with water warfare, but also have the ability to coordinate the existing water division and form a new water division, so this person can't be as old as the old minister, he must be young and strong, right?"

"That's right."

Li Xiaogong's two questions asked Li Er was a little confused.

"Then is this first and foremost to the saint, your dearest and loyal people?"

"This is naturally, what does Uncle Wang want to ask? Just say it all at once. ”

Li Er said impatiently.

"Then I have someone here, and it should meet the requirements of the saint."

"Oh? Uncle Wang, please speak. ”

At this time, Li Er and Du Ruhui both stared at Li Xiaogong, as if he was a super beauty in the recreation workshop, and Li Xiaogong looked straight hair.

"Li Yong!"

"What? Li Yong, Uncle Wang don't make such jokes. ”

Li Er hurriedly waved his hand to deny, but Du Ruhui was not, he thought for a while and said.

"Sage, I think Li Yong is indeed a suitable candidate."

Li Er looked at his confidant minister in surprise, Li Xiaogong stopped talking when he said Li Yong's name, and the others were thinking in their hearts, you can't blame me, little bastard, my baby daughter was abducted by you, you are happy in Huating County, help the old man I should bear this thunder, you can still be the governor of the water division, promoted, you still have to thank me, if Li Yong knows, he will definitely say, I thank your mother, I thank your whole family, is there such a pit son-in-law?

"What did Du Aiqing say about this?"

Du Ruhui organized the language and said.

"What the prince just said is very reasonable, how bad is the condition of the water master now, we all know that Li Yong is smart, and there will be a lot of messy things, the sage should still remember, he got the horseshoe, catapult, god arm bow and other things, and he is your son-in-law, naturally your relatives, there is no problem in loyalty, the key is that he is smart and young, there is no problem between those veterans, the sage should know that the Longwei battalion he trained is now a treasure in the whole army, to sum up, I think he is a good candidate."

After listening to Du Ruhui's analysis, Li Er felt that it was very reasonable, but the question now is how long Li Yongcai has been assigned to Huating, less than a year, and now he has been promoted to the fourth rank of the Governor of the Navy, it is estimated that those officials who have a grudge against Li Yong will go crazy, but how to say it, now that the candidate for the Governor of the Navy, how to operate it depends on him Li Er and those people in the imperial court.
