Chapter 33: Zhenhai Marquis Mansion

In Da Zheng's military system, the supreme military leader is, of course, the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven received the national army through the Military Aircraft Department.

And Da Zheng's army was divided into three parts.

The Beijing Guards who defended the capital Shenjing and accompanied the capital Jinling. The border army defending the nine strategic points in the north also included garrisons stationed in major inland cities.

Of course, this is the Army. Da Zheng also has his own sea master.

When Emperor Taizu was young, he worked as a sailor in the fleet of the king of Yangzhou's sea merchants, and his understanding of the sea was not available to previous emperors. Therefore, in the twenty-second year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Taizu, who had just founded the country, relied on the Songshan Shipyard to build the Dazheng Imperial Naval Division.

By the time of the current Longzheng period, the Royal Navy Division had been divided into a huge naval force including the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet.

And Zhenhai Hou Shilang is the Metropolitan Governor of the Navy who commands the East China Sea Fleet.

Jia Lian is now sitting in the Mingguang Hall, the main hall of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

The Great Zheng Dynasty prospered in shipping, and the Grand Canal, which had been relied on to communicate the north and south since the Sui Dynasty, had gradually lost its role in the Zhou and Zheng dynasties, especially in this dynasty.

Shenjing officials went south from Beijing, generally boarding the ship at Tianjin Port on the east side of Shenjing, and then disembarking from Songjiang into Jinling.

Speaking of which, Tianjin, which was originally named after Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, has its own origin in this world.

It was still the seventh year of the Holy Ancestor Jingning, and after the Holy Ancestor Emperor conquered Luoyang and pacified the Central Plains, he led a huge naval fleet from Shandong to attack the Jurchens who occupied Hebei by sea and Jia Daishan by land.

When Emperor Shengzu landed in Tianjin, he named the place where the Son of Heaven landed Tianjin.

This time, Jia Lian planned to go south from Tianjin and take the sea route into Jinling.

However, this time although Wang Xifeng and Ping'er did not go south. But it was not without a female dependent. The Lai family just gave Jia Lian a new girl, the famous Qingwen. The old lady of the Chen family heard that there was no one around Jia Lian to serve. also generously gave him two girls. And it's a pair of superlative twins.

Wang Xifeng, who provoked it, was coquettish when he visited Chen's mansion with Jia Lian, and the old lady was amused.

So this time, Jia Lian came to Zhenhaihou Mansion, one was to discuss with Shi Lang about the Qin Guard. From Tianjin to Songjiang, all the way to the sea area is under the jurisdiction of the Zhenhai Hou East Sea Fleet. The ships with the Hu naturally had to be arranged by Shilang.

Of course, there is another purpose.

"The old man is late, and Lao Xian's nephew has been waiting for a long time."

Hou Shilang of Zhenhai is forty-four years old this year, and his big face is red because he has been adrift at sea all year round.

Speaking of which, Jia Lian had to admire Jia Daishan's energy and charm as the head of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty.

Although the Jia family still ranks first in the founding of Taizu, the four major county palaces, as well as the Zhenguo Mansion and the Xiuguo Mansion, are not much worse than Rongning.

But when it came to the Holy Ancestor Jingning Dynasty, Jia Daishan, the second-generation Rongguo Gong, was the only one.

And unlike the previous dynasties, Jia Daishan has truly achieved high merit and the master is not jealous, and the position is respected and the government and the opposition are not surprised. Not only did Emperor Shengzu regard him as a friend all his life, but there were also countless people who received his favor among the great Zheng Xungui.

Let's just say Shilang, it seems that the Zhenhai Hou Mansion, which has been rolling at sea for two generations, should have no connection with the Rongguo Mansion. But Jia Lian also heard that Shi Lang's father Shi Jie was appreciated by the Holy Ancestor because of the battle of the Holy Ancestor in the seventh year of Jingning's personal expedition to Shenjing.

Shi Jie, as the captain of the ship on which the Son of Heaven sits, commanded the war and entered the eyes of the Son of Heaven. He was named Zhenhaibo and became the governor of the East China Sea. Later, in the fourteenth year of Jingning, because of poor command, Shi Jie was killed in a naval battle with the Japanese Kou. It was also Jia Daishan's insistence that Shilang got the opportunity to succeed as the governor of the sea division and avenge his father.

Jia Lian sometimes wonders how the Rongguo Mansion in the original book turned a blind eye to Jia Daishan's rich legacy, and easily consumed Xue Pan and others for the sake of Wang Ziteng.

No, Shi Lang, who was convening the East China Sea Fleet's generals stationed in Shenjing in Fuzhong, heard that Jia Lian was visiting, so he quickly ended the discussion and rushed over.

Jia Lian didn't know how to do stupid things, so as soon as he saw Shi Lang, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Don't dare, it's not good to disturb the important affairs of the division commander's military aircraft." ”

Shi Lang was already blindly polite, but from the satisfied expression in his eyes, Jia Lian could see that he had done the right thing.

After all, no big guy would like a guy who doesn't have the strength to take a big one. The prestige of the Jia family, including Jia Lian's treatment, was actually brought to him by Jia Daishan. The more this is the case, the more Jia Lian can't accept it calmly.

"This time, you were ordered by the emperor to go south on an errand, and I have already arranged for the East China Sea Fleet to escort you. They are all first-class capital ships, and I have also cleaned the coastal pirates, and I will ensure that the virtuous nephew is safe and sound. ”

Jia Lian bowed: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew is not here this time for this trivial matter. Uncle Jiuzhen Donghai, I have no worries about the safety of Donghai. ”

Shilang is really strange now. Rong Guogong's grandson became a talented person and was appointed by the emperor, and he was happy in his heart.

So after receiving an order from the Military Aircraft Department to arrange for Qin Cha Jia Lian to go south, Shi Lang arranged the greatest escort lineup he could.

When he heard that Jia Lian was visiting, he thought that the young man had never been to sea and was a little worried about his safety, so he came to him. But......

"The virtuous nephew is worried about the wind and waves on the sea, so there is no need to be afraid. Let's not mention that our Da Zheng's warships are all capable of sailing into the deep sea. You're sailing along the coast of the mainland this time, and you'll be fine. Even if something really happens, it's nothing, you will pass by the six bases of my East China Sea Fleet all the way, as long as the base gets the news, we will immediately rescue it. ”

Jia Lian waved his hand and said, "Uncle Shi, that's the case, I'm not worried about this. The purpose of my visit today is the ocean-going ships of my uncle's family.

Don't hide it from my uncle, my little nephew has been a little seasick since he was a child, and this time he went to sea, and he had to bring a few female dependents. So ......"

Shi Lang frowned, and originally wanted to teach Jia Lian not to be greedy for pleasure. But after thinking about it for a while, his face suddenly changed. glanced at Jia Lian with a smile.

"It's really a monkey spirit monkey cub, and there are successors to the old man. That's it, since you have opened your mouth, I can't help but express myself as an uncle.

Anyway, I'm sitting in Shenjing during this time, and I'll lend you my boat. It's at the Tongzhou wharf, you send someone to receive it. I want you to go south as an envoy, and Jinyi Mansion will not send you a boatman. ”

Jia Lian smiled: "The shipwright naturally has it, and the official ship has also prepared one." It's just that the little nephew is not very relieved. Otherwise, borrow a few from your uncle. ”

Shi Lang laughed: "That's it, send the Buddha to the west." My people will not be withdrawn, you can just bring people on board. ”

Jia Lian also laughed, stood up and arched his hand at Shi Lang: "In this way, thank you uncle." ”
