Chapter 453: Greeting from the city
The holy decree soon reached Edo, the country of the Japanese Invaders, and Zhao Yong was very excited, knowing that this was an opportunity for Li Changfeng to fight for, as long as he didn't make a mistake, the future was bright.
After announcing that the eunuch left, Li Changfeng retreated from the crowd and left Zhao Yong alone.
"The territory of the Japanese is much smaller than that of Zhang Haihui, you won't have complaints, right?" Li Changfeng said with a smile.
Zhao Yong hurriedly shook his head: "What did Your Highness say?" Although the territory of the Japanese is small, it is relatively more independent from Daqian across the sea, and it is a trust in me that His Highness can hand over this place to me! ”
Seeing Zhao Yong say this, Li Changfeng nodded with satisfaction.
"You can understand this, this prince is very pleased."
In this era when communication is not developed, it is not impossible to be a local emperor who is yang and yin.
Li Changfeng was indeed handed over to Zhao Yong out of trust.
Of course, there is another point, he knows that Zhao Yong's ability is enough to be competent.
explained some precautions to Zhao Yong, Li Changfeng asked him to leave, and called Zhou Jianbo in by the way.
"The last general will meet His Highness!"
This time, Zhou Jianbo also made great contributions, but the holy decree did not mention his reward, and he was a little anxious.
Previously, Daqian had not built a navy because he had no money, and he could understand it.
Now that Li Changfeng has obtained a large amount of silver in the barbarian and the Japanese country, money is no longer a problem, and now that the great cadres have occupied the Japanese country, they need a strong navy to protect them.
Zhou Jianbo felt that it was time to build a navy, but he didn't dare to mention this kind of thing.
In fact, Li Changfeng also has such thoughts.
Originally, he was not in a hurry to build a navy, but now that the Japanese are facing each other across the sea, and a large number of Japanese navies are fleeing, these are unstable factors, so he changed his mind.
"Get up." Li Changfeng raised his hand.
"Your Highness!" Zhou Jianbo respectfully finished saluting and then got up.
Li Changfeng looked at Zhou Jianbo with a smile and said, "When I return to Beijing this time, I am going to propose to my father the establishment of a large cadre navy, and you must be ready." ”
Zhou Jianbo was overjoyed, snapped and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for cultivating!" His Royal Highness's kindness will be unforgettable, and he will ...... in the future."
Zhou Jianbo wanted to show his loyalty, but was interrupted by Li Changfeng waving his hand.
"Okay, needless to say, some of the Japanese navy has fled, so don't go back yet, lead the army to wipe them out, earn some credit, and accumulate more naval combat experience by the way."
Emperor Qianwu will inevitably send officials at all levels to take up posts, and it will inevitably cross the sea, and if the Japanese navy cannot be completely eliminated, it will be a big trouble in the future.
Zhou Jianbo promised: "Your Highness, rest assured, you will let the thieves die in the sea!" ”
Li Changfeng patted Zhou Jianbo on the shoulder and said helplessly: "You go and pick eight hundred...... Well, a thousand capable and good hands will return to Beijing with this prince, and the ocean trade cannot be stopped. ”
The wealth looted at sea last time was really amazing, and Li Changfeng was reluctant to lose this piece of fat, and he would organize the next ocean trade after returning to Beijing.
Zhou Jianbo, the commander of the navy, must not be able to do this work anymore, and must find someone to replace him.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will definitely pick out the most clever subordinates, by the way, is a thousand enough? Why don't I pick you two thousand? ”
"A thousand is enough."
Li Changfeng waved his hand.
As for those backward natives, what waves can they make in the face of the ironclad warships of Daqian?
He went to trade, not to invade.
Next, Li Changfeng arranged to leave part of the army equipped with artillery and muskets to Zhao Yong to suppress the rebel forces in the territory of the Japanese Invaders, leaving half of the ironclad warships to Zhou Jianbo, and then led the army back to Beijing.
In the early morning of this day, as soon as the sky was light, a large number of Imperial Guards set off from the palace and went straight to the outside of the city.
Their armor was shiny, their faces were full of excitement and anticipation, and everyone was full of energy.
Followed by the dragon chariot of Emperor Qianwu, surrounded by a large number of internal master guards, as well as a grand imperial guard of honor, extremely grand.
After the dragon chariot, there were many princes headed by Li Chengye.
Then there are the great cadres, civil and military officials, and the mighty team can't see the end at a glance.
There is no need to ask, the people of the capital will know that it is Li Changfeng who has returned triumphantly, and Emperor Qianwu has already made a decree to go out of the city to greet him.
The people spontaneously splashed water to sweep the streets, and everyone was beaming, even happier than the New Year.
More people followed the procession out of the city and greeted them outside the city.
Acquaintances gathered in groups and discussed excitedly.
"It's amazing, it's really amazing, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes fought in the south and the north, and just took one-third of the land of the barbarians, which wiped out the Japanese invaders again, I couldn't think of this kind of thing before!"
"Yes, it's only been a few years, and I'm so powerful, I really feel like I'm dreaming back then."
"We are really lucky to be born in such a prosperous world!"
"Isn't it, now everyone has a job to do, everyone has money to earn, as long as they are willing to contribute, they can eat their stomachs, and they are no longer afraid of foreign invasion, I couldn't imagine this kind of good life before!"
"This is all the credit of His Highness, without His Highness, we would still be living that kind of bitter life."
"But isn't it, now the army of Daqian is so strong, there are almost no deaths among the soldiers, and fighting two wars not only did not drag the country to poverty, but looted so much silver, how could there be such a thing before?"
“……”
There is talk of this everywhere.
In order to express his recognition of Li Changfeng's achievements, Emperor Qianwu took hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city fifty miles to greet him.
When they arrived at the predetermined place, there was no trace of Li Changfeng, and Emperor Qianwu ordered everyone to wait in place.
Gao Dali brought a chair and put it behind Emperor Qianwu, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince will not arrive in about an hour, so you can sit down and wait." ”
Emperor Qianwu stretched his neck and looked into the distance, and scolded: "The stinky boy is grinding and grinding, and let me wait for him, it's really unusual!" ”
Hearing this, Gao Dali couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It is good if Li Changfeng can arrive early, but in fact, it is just right to leave an hour late, but Emperor Qianwu can't wait to leave early, and now he blames Li Changfeng.
Gao Dali didn't dare to say anything, so he could only continue to persuade: "Your Majesty, just sit down and wait." ”
"That's it!"
Emperor Qianwu sat down, still stretching his neck to look into the distance.
Feng Quji, who was not far behind him, smiled bitterly.
Gao Dali thoughtfully prepared a chair for Emperor Qianwu, but he could only stand obediently when he didn't prepare for them, he was really a little unbearable when he was old.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcang, who was old and strong, supported Feng Quji, and said in a low voice: "Old Prime Minister, your majesty will definitely agree to take a leave at this age, why do you have to come?" ”
