Chapter 11 East China Sea Strategy
Yun Haifeng looked at the emperor and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me, although I have been staring at him for the past few days, and he has no words of objection, but this does not mean that he will listen to me!" This is a very obvious thing, no matter who has been thrown away for more than 20 years, after coming back, you can just come back lightly, is this reasonable, not to mention that Kong Ming was thrown away from the age of four. Who knows how high the threshold of the heart is?
"Have you conveyed our meaning to him?" asked the Emperor again.
"Yes, but we can't help if we don't listen. Yun Haifeng was even more depressed, this guy who couldn't manage it, and couldn't say it, if it wasn't for his own family that owed him, where would he, an old man, stare at Kong Ming all day long?
"Hmm, how has the formation of the military region been?" the Emperor looked at the Minister of War.
"Your Majesty, the whole shelf has been done, and now as long as the people are in place, it's fine. The Minister of War said.
"You've worked hard!, is there anything to say about this?" the Emperor asked again.
"This minister has colluded with him, except for a few positions where he has to choose his own people, everything else is at the mercy of the empire's arrangement. The Minister of War said.
"That's fine. After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the Minister of War who was about to speak, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Qi Yu Majesty, Kong Ming Tuochen reported to His Majesty, he wants to take away a few talents who know naval warfare from the Military Academy. ”
"Let him choose for himself, and then report to the military department. Don't bother me with these little things. The emperor said angrily, thought for a moment and said:
"Old Yun, you have to keep an eye on this grandson of yours, he almost ruined my plan!" the emperor looked at Yun Haifeng meaningfully.
"I don't know what His Majesty is talking about?" Yun Haifeng and everyone were surprised, obviously they didn't know what was going on.
"Don't know? The Emperor said.
After watching everyone leave, the emperor suddenly said, "How did those princes react?"
"禀陛xià. The eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are still the same as before, only the second prince has not made friends with other nobles in the past few days, and now he has almost finished his business every day, and arrested more than ten officials, on charges of embezzlement and bribery, reckless disregard for human life, murder and other more than ten crimes, among which several princes have camps, including those in the second prince's camp. ”
A voice came from the shadows.
"The second child actually did such a thing? Is there anything else?" the emperor's voice contained a hint of surprise.
In addition, the second imperial concubine took her family to distribute spring seeds and food to the poor people in the imperial capital. And these things are not for money, they are all lent out without interest. Shadow said.
"Oh, it's better than giving the white hair to the civilians, and getting the support of the people. It will not give people food because of this, and it will not make people feel good and easy. "There was a burst of exclamation in the Emperor's voice.
The Shadow didn't speak. He knew that this was nothing more than the emperor praising his son, and he was the listener.
"The second child has never done such a thing before, this must be the guidance of a master, do you know who the second child has not contacted in this time?" After the praise was finished, the emperor asked again.
"There are ...... people who came into contact with the second prince after his wedding"
The shadow kept reporting to the emperor about the people and things that the second prince had come into contact with, but because Kong Ming's contact with the second prince was only during the wedding banquet. And both of them looked drunk, this unconscious action actually escaped the surveillance of the shadows, they thought it was just a word between two drunks, so Kong Ming also escaped the emperor's vision in the choice of the throne.
8 p.m. in Yunfu.
"Did you do something to let the emperor catch him?" Yun Haifeng looked at Kong Ming sitting cross-legged in the courtyard alone. Just finished meditating.
"Where did I do something, haven't I been in your field of vision for the past few days? Every night, where do I still have the energy to do something else during the day?" Kong Ming said as he looked at Yun Haifeng.
"Come on, I won't get involved in your, but you must know that the emperor and several other people have said that you don't want to participate in the battle for the throne, remember it for me. "Yun Haifeng didn't dare to force Kong Ming.
"Got it, how many times have you said it, hey, the old man said that where did you go all day today, why did you come back so late, you see the moon is in the middle of the sky. Kong Ming pointed to the Heavenly Dao.
"Don't cross it, I said you don't want to cultivate a relationship now, what are you doing here?" Seeing Kong Ming sitting in the courtyard, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Eight days and eight, you treat me as a pig, and I also want to rest!" Kong Ming thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak, so he could only say: "Cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you don't practice, how can my sword saint be consolidated? ”
Seeing Kong Ming's complaining appearance, Yun Haifeng knew that he cared too much about the dragon bloodline, forgetting that Kong Ming was also a person and had his own life, not to mention, the higher Kong Ming's cultivation, the better the seeds that would be born in the future. With a soft heart, he said, "Okay, what do you like tonight, just do it!" I'll rest. ”
After taking a few steps forward, he turned back and said: "The emperor has agreed to your transfer from the military academy, you just need to go to the military department to prepare a case, in addition, the emperor has given you a new earl's palace, not far from here, it was originally a Kaliwu palace, and later after Tang Ke's treason, it was taken back, and now no one lives in it, tomorrow you will move in, the emperor has already inscribed for you, the Count's Mansion on the coast." ”
Next.
Things in the world are really wonderful sometimes, even Kong Ming is sighing now, now he is looking at the Wuwang Mansion, the sign on it is changing to the appearance of the Coastal Earl's Palace, and behind Kong Ming are sixteen beautiful beauties, this scene must be a beautiful scene in the eyes of the world. Thinking that when he walked to the battlefield with an ignorant boy and a thin body in Karry, where would he have thought that he would occupy the palace of the king of Kari, and it was for nothing, but now that he thinks about it. The brother who had fought with him had long since disappeared, either died or was hiding somewhere in Kari, and he thought that he should find a time, where to go around, and kill the bastard Tang Ke, so that he would be fine, but the emperor was afraid that Kong Ming would stay where he would not come back, so he placed his fief on the coast of the East China Sea. It can be said that the rise of Kongming arose because of Tangke, but it will no longer have any intersection with it. It's just that I have to go back to Kari to have a look if I have a chance in the future. After all, he was raised there, and his hometown was in Kari, not the imperial capital.
"Let's go, let's go in!" Kong Ming sighed and walked into the new Earl's Palace. After walking into the lobby. Kong Ming sat down and looked at the sixteen women. I couldn't help but think about it and said, "Today we settled here. I think it was the emperor who asked us to have more children, so we gave such a big place, but sitting on the empty mountain, I alone is not enough to feed such a large family, and I will not rely on those fathers-in-law to live in the future, in the fiefdom. Kuhara has already brought twenty great sword masters to the past to build, and I think that if I want to get the first batch of rent, it will also be after the summer, and the first batch of agricultural harvest and commercial taxes will have some income, I know. In the past, everyone was a big spender, but now they start to save a little, and the expenses on the earl's palace are presided over by Princess Tang Zixian. Sun Kai is the chief housekeeper, and the rest of the qi qi qi take your time, if one thing happens, we will solve one thing, no hurry. The house is so big, you can pick a place you like, and the princess is still in charge of the whole. You guys go busy, I'll go out. After speaking, he looked at the sixteen beauties, and walked out straight.
"Really, the head of the family is not responsible, let me be a weak woman to do these things!" Tang Zixian muttered in a low voice, but in her heart it was Mezz's, you must know that Kong Ming is establishing her position as the first lady of the Earl's Palace, and there is a reason for displeasure.
Army.
After Kong Ming left the Earl's Palace, he came here with the fat man. And went directly to the office of the formation of the military district. Then, in the confusion of the soldiers, he sat straight down in the place set up for him in the office. Since a qiē is in preparation, the office also occupies a large conference room of the military department, and some basic personnel are in place, they are negotiating some things, at this time, I saw Kong Mingyi sitting there in a general's uniform, with some drums in his heart, and I don't know if this one is the commander of the military region.
Kong Ming sat for half an hour, and saw that most of them were busy with different things, but none of them came to report to Kong Ming, the only one was to give Kong Ming a downset, which made Kong Ming really unhappy, if it was in the war, these people would have let Kong Ming kill him alone.
"Bang, bang!" Kong Ming slapped his hand on the desk a few times, and the sound spread throughout the hall, and for a moment everyone looked over, not knowing what the young man in the general's uniform wanted to do.
"All the people came and assembled, the heads of the departments were in the front row, and the others were lined up in columns. Kong Ming said calmly, but soon Kong Ming became angry, because these people didn't move.
"Hurry up, or I'll get out of this place in the future." ”
Seeing Kong Ming like this, all the unknown people slowly walked over, and then, according to the position Kong Ming said, stood up.
Kong Ming picked up a roster from the table, which had been prepared a long time ago and placed on the stage for Kong Ming, the commander.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Kong Ming, the commander of the Eastern Naval Region, that is, your current person in charge, the formation of the entire Eastern Naval Region is in charge of the military department, I know that many people here are the heads of the military department, well, don't talk nonsense, the head of the military department will stand on my left side according to what I say, and the personnel of the future military region will also stand on my right side in the same order. ”
After hearing Kong Ming's self-report, he quickly divided into two sides. Kong Ming looked at it, many of the heads of the military department are old, and most of the people in charge of the military region are young people, of course, there are a few middle-aged people, Kong Ming is not dissatisfied with this, you must know that those old people have already married and are tired of the passionate life outside, so this is understandable.
"Okay, I'll read the roster. Is it worth the personnel?" The next thing made Kong Ming directly angry, there were two hundred people on the roster, who belonged to the Eastern Naval Region, and only eighty people were in place, and the excuses were also varied, and the relationships among these people were also extinct. There are the sons of the king, the grandsons of the dukes, and those who don't know how many generations can't fight, and they dare to be absent.
Kong Ming scolded and scolded for half an hour, and finally waved his pen and said: "All the people sitting here are good, you are just because I vented my anger on them, I apologize for this, and inform them that all the people who are absent here have any excuses." Regardless of rank, they will all be demoted to second lieutenant, and they will report for duty immediately tomorrow, and, if anyone intends to withdraw from the Eastern Naval District. All were sent to the Military Court of the Eastern Naval District to be treated as deserters. ”
"General, there is no such thing as a military tribunal in our army!" said a man cautiously. Kong Ming looked at it. "What's your name?"
"General. My name is Bao Ping. The young man replied. So Bao Ping did the most correct thing in his life and got his due reward.
"Okay, Bao Ping, now I appoint you as the first president of the military tribunal of the Eastern Naval District, with the rank of colonel, and you will be responsible for the formation of the tribunal and the formulation of various military regulations. Well, when we implement the legal system, we use cases to decide cases. Think about it yourself. ”
"General, if those people come back. What do you say to them?", said a head of the military department cautiously.
"Tell him bluntly, if he wants to take out the men behind him, then tell him, and I will promote him to captain and let him clear the pirates for me. In addition, the Military Affairs Department of the Eastern Naval Region is responsible for recruiting military personnel from the whole society, telling them that we need a large number of talents to form the entire military region, but the focus is on the team of fighting wars, the number of which is set at 10,000, as long as they meet the conditions, they can enter the Eastern Naval Region and become a part of it. Kong Ming said bluntly, in the military department, there is no difference between the names of many departments, only the difference between rank.
In addition, the Empire sent invitations to shipyards throughout the country to tender for the construction of naval warships in the imperial capital ten days later. ”
"Commander, what do you mean by tender?" the other asked.
"I don't know much about this, tell them, we pay for it, they build ships, whoever has a ship of good quality and meets our needs, whoever is cheap, we want someone's ship. Let them show off, and we will know better, and only by comparing will we know what is good or bad? And let them know that we need countless warships, and countless will we know it?"
"Commander, how much?"
"As much as you want. ”
"How do you pay for that?"
"There are two ways for them to choose, one is to be paid directly by the Empire, and the other is to let them follow the Empire's warships wherever they go, and they will develop them to offset the cost of the ships. Choose one of the two. ”
The imperial capital is crazy, this time it is not for the gossip of the imperial capital, not for the prince's struggle for the throne, not for some celebrity to come to the imperial capital, not for a certain god-level powerhouse to come to the imperial capital to accept apprentices, but for the formation of the Eastern Naval Region, in order to be able to obtain a quota to join the military region, in order to be able to get a chance to build a ship, or to be able to give the Eastern Naval Region a chance to manufacture weapons, because people smell a smell of promotion and fortune from this recruitment order of the Eastern Naval Region, smell an opportunity that makes people start from nothing, and smell the factor that makes people crazy, war。 You must know that recruiting 10,000 people in the imperial capital is an unprecedented thing, and once the war starts, it means that there are various military merits and noble titles waiting for these people of the Huayuan Empire, which is a great opportunity for promotion, and many people have joined the assessment of the Eastern Naval Region. And the subsequent events also proved the speculation of many people in the imperial capital, and Kong Ming brought them countless nobles and wealth. This is the value of the sword god as the soldier saint.
In the Imperial Palace, all the ministers have gathered together, and now they are only for one thing, and that is the formation of the Eastern Naval District.
"Kong Ming, explain your reasons for returning. The prime minister said.
Kong Ming looked at both sides and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you can go outside, it's a little more open." ”
The emperor looked at Kong Ming and said, "Everyone go outside." ”
So everyone walked to the outside of the palace, Kong Ming put a crystal plate on the ground, and then, excited by the magic on it, only to see a large three-dimensional map appear in mid-air. Kong Ming stepped forward and pointed at the map with a magic wand and said:
"Our Huayuan Empire is located in the east of the Huatian Continent, east of the East China Sea, the distance between the north and south ends is 6,000 kilometers, can be called the sea frontier, from the places that have been explored now, the East China Sea in our east is not known how many times larger than the entire empire, and what we already know is only a small part of it, among which Binhai City is a large island of 100 kilometers in the past, the area is as large as one of our provinces, and now it is occupied by a force that is not bound by the empire, this island is a place that our country must occupy, and it is also the main port and base of our East China Sea Navy in the future。 And with the coastal city as the center, there are fifteen islands similar to this on the coastline of our country on the north and south sides, and their total area adds up to about the size of half an empire, and in the place to the east, it is said that there are more islands, these islands are of different sizes, the big ones are the size of our empire, and the small ones are the size of a palace, but these circumstances are just the legends of those fishermen who fled back, although they are not necessarily accurate, but one thing can be proven, that is, there are more places on the east side of this group of islands waiting for our empire to conquer。 And this expansion of territory is only one aspect of it, it is said that the entire East China Sea, there are countless magic crystals, piles of fairy grass, and infinite wealth and countless resources. Think about it, once these things are in the hands of the Empire, then our Empire will definitely become the most powerful and wealthy empire in the entire Huatian Continent. This is one of the aspects, the other aspect, according to reliable information, in the East China Sea inhabited by an East China Sea Empire, they are mainly water races, there are various races, such as fish people, krakens, etc., these races control the entire eastern part of the East China Sea archipelago, it is rumored that they also have god-level powerhouses, and our action this time, if we can, I hope that we can open the road between the two empires, through guò exchanges, and transport all kinds of items hidden deep under the sea to the mainland, through guò this situation, so that the wealth of the two countries can grow, and if this one requirement is met, it can increase the income of our country several times。 In addition, since their empire is an empire in the sea and there is no conflict with our land empire, we can establish our power on their islands, connected by a teleportation array, and I believe that if we can achieve the above goals, the cost of the teleportation array will not be so high. And I know from the general history of the continent that their magic skills far surpass ours, because they belong to the clan of ancient elves. In other words, if we conquer these sixteen islands, we will gain half an empire of land, we will be able to increase the titles of countless nobles, and with the sea in between, our empire will be three times the size of what it is now. And once our strategy is realized, then the size of our empire will increase countless times, think about it, what will happen to you. ......”
Kong Ming gave a passionate speech outside the court for more than two hours, and these two hours of speech completely conquered the upper echelons of the entire empire, and said that these old men who had been rolling in the political arena for half their lives were extremely enthusiastic, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, as if they were in one, Instantly brought them back to their teenage years, made them extremely enthusiastic about Kongming's East China Sea strategy, and made them proud that they participated in the largest territorial expansion operation in the history of the Huayuan Empire. And because Kong Ming's idea was based on facts, which increased its feasibility, all the ministers did not hesitate to adopt a supportive attitude towards Kong Ming's recruitment in the imperial capital.
"So, General Kong Ming, how many soldiers do you plan to recruit in the imperial capital?" the emperor asked something that everyone wanted to know.
"Your Majesty, if it is feasible, I want to recruit five thousand saints and one hundred thousand seventh-level powerhouses in the imperial capital. Kong Ming's answer made everyone change in person, this is a powerful force, once someone brings them together, it will be invincible, invincible, almost invincible in the world.
