The name is not in vain, after Zhu Yuanzhang set the name for the child, he immediately arranged a task for Li Wei, asking him to start training the sailor within three days.

Now that Anqing has given birth to a child without danger, he has no reason to stay at home anymore.

After Li Wei agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang told him to take care of Anqing again, and turned around and left the Horse Mansion.

After sending Zhu Yuanzhang away, Li Wei handed over his newborn son to the midwife and wet nurse to take care of, and went into the house to see Anqing.

An Qing had simply cleaned up at this time, but he still looked exhausted.

Li Wei lovingly stroked the green silk on her sideburns, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

An Qing reluctantly opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

As a first-time mother, she finally understood the difficulty of the queen mother and those aunts, and her mind matured a lot in a day, and she did not complain to Li Wei, but gave him a comforting look to reassure him.

Li Wei looked at Anqing, who had become mature, and his heart was both happy and a little sad.

In this era, there are many rules, especially when it is a baby boy. On the day of birth, it is necessary to give a happy fruit to relatives and friends, which is called a birthday gift, and then relatives and friends will return the gift.

After three days, there are three pilgrimage ceremonies, and finally the full moon, 100 days and first birthday ceremonies that are familiar to later generations.

After all, giving birth to a child is a happy event, although Li Wei doesn't like these cumbersome etiquette very much, but it is not easy to sweep away the interest of relatives and friends, and what can be done is ordered to be done according to the rules.

As soon as the three-day period passed, Li Wei said goodbye to his vacation and returned to his post.

At the Longjiang port, in order to facilitate the training of sailors, he specially asked people to set up a military camp near the port to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers transferred from all over the country.

Most of the 30,000 soldiers who were dispatched this time were from thousands of households in various coastal and riverside guard stations, and they were already responsible for patrolling on the water, and they were part of the sailors, and they were also very experienced in water warfare, so they had to save a lot of trouble in training.

In addition to these 30,000 people, there are also soldiers and horses drawn from the Shenji Battalion.

The Shenji Battalion can be said to be Li Wei's descendant force, although it cannot be mobilized without a military order, but the soldiers in it, whether it is the original Jiang Long, Du Yuan, or later Shi Jin, Gongxi and others, are relatively loyal to him, and they are the most convenient to use, and they must be the backbone of this naval division.

The Shenji Battalion was originally infantry, but most of these soldiers were born in the water towns south of the Yangtze River, and the water nature is still good, of course, there is still a gap with these water divisions along the river, so they must have special training.

On the school ground, the soldiers lined up, the soldiers gathered, Lin Xian and Shi Jun were also among them, but the mood gap between the two was huge.

Lin Xian was demoted to a thousand households at once, and what was even worse was that in a blink of an eye, Li Wei turned out to be his boss, and now he didn't have to think about it, and he knew that there would definitely be no good life in the future.

And Shi Jun was very glad that he didn't listen to Lin Xian's mess at the beginning, no, he was released in a blink of an eye, and now he is working under Li Wei, it is estimated that it will not be long before the relationship between him and Lin Xian will have to be reversed.

The generals waited for a long time, and Li Wei was late, and he glanced at him instead of Tang He, who had been practicing for a few days, and said dissatisfiedly: "You also said that you won't let me interfere, if you don't watch me these days, you, the new sailor, will become a sheep herder!" ”

"Thank you Xinguogong!"

Li Wei said with a smile.

The water master was built by him, but because of An Qing's birth of a son, he was absent from work for more than ten days, and it was indeed his fault, so he could only laugh and thank him with a smile at this time.

Seeing that he was still polite, Tang He snorted lightly and stepped aside, handing over the command to him, which was Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

Li Wei came to stand in front of the generals, and the generals immediately saluted: "I've seen Master Hou!" ”

"Well," Li Wei nodded lightly, and said: "Your Majesty also knows the reason for your transfer, the Japanese invaders are ravaging my Daming coastal area, and they have been banned repeatedly, this is the Japanese country supporting them behind them, Your Majesty sent an envoy to accountability, and the king of this small country even dared to speak out to provoke, he simply didn't take my Daming Sailor in his eyes!" ”

"This time, we are going to train the new army, conquer the Japanese country, and let them know that although we are far away, we will be punished!"

"Even if it is far away, it will be punished! Even though it is far away, it will be punished ......"

Li Wei made a speech that was not very clever, and the soldiers cooperated and shouted slogans.

After some encouragement, Li Wei asked everyone to start practicing step by step, but a few people were left by him, that is, Jiang Long and Du Yuan of the Shenji Battalion, as well as Lin Xian and Shi Jun.

Lin Xian's heart sank when he saw this, knowing that there must be no good thing. But he couldn't help but listen to Li Wei's orders, so he could only stay with the three of them honestly.

"Jiang Long, are there any soldiers transferred from our Shenji Battalion who are not waterproof?"

Li Wei first asked Jiang Long.

Song Zhong and Zuo Wei were promoted to the governor's office of the five armies because of their contribution to the conquest of Yunnan, and they were no longer in the Shenji Camp at this time, and this time they were mainly led by Jiang Long and Du Yuan.

"Back to Master Hou, most of the brothers in the camp know how to water, but there are more than 3,000 people who can't, and they still need to practice again!"

Jiang Long replied respectfully.

"Well, then bring them all here."

"Okay, Master Hou."

Jiang Long took the order and left, and after a long time, he brought those soldiers who were impermeable to the river.

People who can't swim always have a natural fear when they go into the water for the first time, Li Wei himself is a landlubber who can't pass through water, and he knows this very well, but this does not prevent him from saying big things: "Soldiers, in fact, there is nothing difficult about swimming, you can quickly learn to jump in the water, and you can learn it quickly with your hands and feet." ”

The soldiers were in a state of anxiety, and they didn't get much better when they heard his words.

So Li Wei pointed at Lin Xian and said: "Everyone, please see, this Lin Qianhu is a strong swimmer, and he will demonstrate it to you." ”

After speaking, he turned to Lin Xian and shouted, "Lin Xian! ”

Lin Xian's face jumped, and he stood up hard: "The last will be." ”

"Order you to swim across the Yangtze River within an hour, return to your life, if you can't do it, military law will deal with it!" Li Wei shouted sternly.

Many people who can't swim were shocked when they heard his order, the Yangtze River is turbulent, and the distance between the two banks is more than two miles, if this is not good, there will be no people, not to mention that Li Wei also set a time limit.

In fact, he himself fought this idea, wishing that this guy would be washed away by the water.

However, when Lin Xian heard his words, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Li Wei guessed correctly, he is indeed a strong swimmer, and crossing the Yangtze River is life-threatening for others, but it is easy for him.

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Lin Xian replied.

"Hmm."

Li Wei nodded, watching him jump into the water and disappear with his own eyes, and then retracted his gaze with a smile.

"Everyone sees, beginners must be cautious when learning to swim, don't follow his example!" Li Wei said.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that this Lin Xian was a negative textbook.

"Okay, Du Yuan, these people will be handed over to you to practice, pay attention to safety, just flutter and flutter by the river, if you lose someone, I will settle accounts with you!"

Li Wei's requirements for these soldiers were completely opposite to Lin Xian's just now, and he told them to put their safety first.

Du Yuan hurriedly responded respectfully, patted his chest to ensure that no one would be lost.

After giving these orders, Li Wei left with Jiang Long and Shi Jun to check the training of other sailors.

He is also a new contact with the sailor, and he needs to observe before making adjustments.

"Master Hou, now the drills we are carrying out are mainly divided into water drills and boat drills, water drills are to train the individual combat abilities of the soldiers, such as driving boats, bows and arrows, diving, gang jumping, etc., and ship drills are to train the formation of ships."

Shi Jun was born in a water division and was most familiar with these, and as he walked, he introduced Li Wei to the projects he was currently practicing.

Li Wei had a general understanding that the Daming Navy Division was still in the era of gang jumping, although there were also fire attacks, archery, firearms throwing and the like, and even artillery on big ships, but these numbers were extremely small.

Before the birth of the artillery invented by Li Wei, the artillery level in the early Ming Dynasty was very backward, and the shooting on the flat ground was not accurate, let alone on the rickety ship.

"The gang jumping training has been cancelled, the bow and arrow have been replaced with muskets, and the main training is to rack boats and dive ferries, and when the shipyard has completed the transformation of those boats, it is necessary to practice artillery shooting."

Li Wei said while watching.

The power of firearms in naval warfare is even greater than that of land warfare, and the strength of ships and guns at sea is everything, just with his current ironclad ship, stop there and let the Japanese invaders fight at will, they will not be able to hurt a single bit, and the water is different from the land, it is impossible to climb up by ladder like a siege.

Later generations of pirates were able to rob large freighters, which were forced to stop with AK47s and bazookas, and the speed of speedboats was far faster than cruise ships, which the current pirates do not have.

Jiang Long was born in the Shenji Battalion, so it was easy to understand Li Wei's thoughts, and although Shi Jun didn't quite understand, he also respectfully agreed.

The three of them inspected the barracks built along the river, and then turned back.

The soldiers who don't know how to swim are fluttering by the river, and they don't know how long it will take to learn to swim, but it won't be too difficult to think about, after all, the military drill will not be as gentle as the swimming instructor teaching a class, and they will drive people directly into the water, and they will naturally choke on the water a few more times.

When Li Wei and Jiang Long were watching and discussing the training of the next generation, a head appeared on the surface of the river, and quickly swam ashore from far and near.

Lin Xian gasped rapidly, crawled out of the water, and walked quickly to Li Wei.

"Master Hou, the last general has completed the crossing of the Yangtze River, and I have come to report to Lord Hou!" Lin Xian arched his hand and said loudly.

Li Wei's face was stunned, although Lin Xian was soaked and slightly embarrassed at this time, he didn't look exhausted. It's only been more than half an hour, and he's finished swimming!

"Is it easy to cross the Yangtze River?"

Li Wei first lowered his voice and asked Shi Jun beside him.

"Well, it's not too difficult," Shi Jun replied in a low voice.

Li Wei frowned, disappointed in his heart.

He also expected this Lin Xian to drown directly, but he didn't expect it to be completed so easily.

Lin Xian looked at him whispering to Shi Jun, and sneered disdainfully in his heart, for them sailors, it is not difficult to cross a river for two or three miles, like the Yangtze River, which has better water quality, and can even swim back and forth in half an hour.

Li Wei looked at him and was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth and scolded: "Look at you, you are not dressed properly during your duty, what kind of body has you become?" ”

"What...... What? Lin Xian's mind was stunned, and he couldn't turn around.

"Jiang Long, when an official meets his boss while on duty, what should he be guilty of if he is not dressed properly?" Li Wei asked Jiang Long beside him unhurriedly.

Jiang Long was very cooperative, and immediately said: "Seeing that the boss is not well-dressed, it is regarded as disrespectful, and he should be punished with a cane!" ”

"Then what are you hesitating about, pull me down, and the rod will be twenty years old!" Li Weiwei shouted.

Lin Xian's face changed greatly: "Master Hou, the last general has just been ordered to cross the river, how can he not be embarrassed!" ”

"Then you can go back to shower and change your clothes, and then come back to your life."

Li Wei pursed his lips, and secretly said in his heart, who let you swim so fast, if you swim slowly, you can be dealt with according to military law normally, and I will not be so unreasonable.

"You!" Lin Xian glared angrily and said angrily: "Jiang Duhou, don't go too far!" ”

When Li Wei heard this, he immediately glared: "Bold, dare to talk to Ben Hou like this, add another twenty, pull down the cane and punish forty!" ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Long immediately waved his hand and beckoned his subordinates to escort Lin Xian down.

Lin Xian shouted while being escorted: "I want to face the saint, I want to impeach you to Your Majesty!" ”

Li Wei smiled disdainfully and ordered: "Fight hard!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldier should be, after a while, Lin Xian's shouting turned into a scream, and it was not until Lin Xian couldn't scream anymore that Li Wei withdrew his gaze and continued to discuss the matter of training with Jiang Long and the others.

In the evening, the soldiers finished their day's drills and returned to the camp, and Li Wei also left here.

In an ordinary camp tent, Lin Xian was lying on the bed, the chrysanthemums were miserable, full of wounds, and his face was still a little yellow.

Under Li Wei's order, the soldiers who carried out the cane were not lightly attacked, although the forty canes did not beat him to death, but also beat his buttocks to a blur of flesh and blood, and now although the military doctor has been drugged, the pain has not been reduced much.

"Li Wei, I don't share the sky with you!" Lin Xian's eyes showed a cold light, and he gritted his teeth.

At the beginning, he intercepted Wang Jinghong and others by the river, just to add a block to Li Wei, and he relied on many nobles in Huaixi, and he didn't take Li Wei, the new marquis, in his eyes at all.

However, what he didn't expect was that only a few days later, His Majesty personally reprimanded him, and demoted him, and it was useless to even intercede with Li Shanchang, the prince of the country, but the impeachment he played was like a stone in the sea, and there was no movement at all.

Now it's even worse, it fell under Li Wei, and it was a severe beating.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xian got up from the bed with difficulty, twisted his ass and walked out of the camp.

As the sky got dark, Lin Xian dragged his injuries to the Korean Mansion and knocked on the door.

After a while, the servant of the house came and opened a crack in the door: "Who are you?" ”

Lin Xian had a smile on his face: "After asking Grandpa Guo, I will say that Zhenhaiwei commanded Lin Xian to ask for a meeting." ”

He didn't mention that he had been demoted to a thousand households, and directly asked to see him as a commander.

After all, Li Shanchang is the founder of the country and the prince of the dynasty, if he hears him ask to see a small thousand households, I am afraid that this servant will not pay attention to him.

The servant looked him up and down a few times, and then said lightly: "Wait!" ”

"Okay." Lin Xian replied repeatedly, and his attitude towards this servant was much more humble than his attitude towards Li Wei.

After the servant finished speaking, he closed the door.

In the study, Li Shanchang was writing something, and the servant hurriedly came in to report: "Master, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the commander of Zhenhaiwei Lin Xian, asking to see him. ”

Li Shanchang paused the pen in his hand and looked up at the servant: "Lin Xian? ”

"Yes."

Li Shanchang frowned suddenly, and slowly put down the pen.

He had interceded for Lin Xian before, so naturally he knew this person, and he was quite familiar with it.

There are many generals from Huaixi, and this Lin Xian is also one of them, although he has not been made a marquis, but he is also in an important position, but now he has offended Li Wei and has been demoted to a small thousand households.

Originally, Huaixi came to ask for a meeting, which is nothing, like Lan Yu often runs to him, but this Lin Xian has just been punished, and he has interceded for him, and now he immediately comes to ask for a meeting, which is a bit bad.

"Master, do you want to see it?" Seeing that he had not responded, the servant asked.

Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Let him come in." ”

"Yes!"

The servant left quickly, and after a while, he brought Lin Xian in.

"Xiaguan meets Lord Guogong!"

Lin Xian saluted respectfully after entering the door.

Li Shanchang showed a close smile: "Hehe, it's all my own family, no need to be polite, sit down." ”

"Uh," Lin Xian paused, a little embarrassed, "Xia Guan is not in good health, so he won't sit." ”

When Li Shanchang heard this, he immediately noticed that his appearance was a little unnatural, vaguely guessed something, and didn't ask much, nodding with a chuckle.

"It's so late, why did the commander come here?" Li Shanchang called himself a commander, and he didn't mention Qianhu at all, as if he didn't know.

Lin Xian came here to ask him for help, his face was sad at the moment, and he complained bitterly: "Lord Guogong, the lower official is here to ask you to help impeach Jiang Duhou to His Majesty......

Lin Xian said angrily that Li Wei had sorted out his affairs in detail.

Although he said that he wanted to impeach Li Wei, he also knew that he was humble and light-hearted, and the last time he impeached Li Wei, he used guards to rob people, but it didn't work, and this time it was just an excuse to beat him, and his own impeachment would definitely not have any effect.

But Li Shanchang is different, after all, he is the prince of the dynasty, and the weight is still very heavy.

Li Shanchang frowned slightly, and sighed after a while: "Hey, you are not in the court, some things may not be clear, this Jiangdu Marquis is not a simple character, now the six departments of the court have a good relationship with him, Your Majesty not only gave three thousand guards, but also invited him to ride the dragon chariot with him some time ago, and even the old man is envious of the Holy Dependent, even if I promise to help you with the book, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not really punish him." ”

Lin Xian's face was full of consternation, he knew that Li Wei was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so simple!

"But, no matter how powerful he is, can he compare to you?"

Lin Xian said unwillingly.

"Hehe, no, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the new people replace the old people, the old man has an old bone, it can't be compared!"

Li Shanchang shook his head with a wry smile, meaning something.

Lin Xian's face was ugly, and his mood fell to the bottom in an instant.

Among the founding nobles, Xu Da is the leader, followed by Li Shanchang, at this time Xu Dayuan is guarding in Beiping, Li Shanchang is the first important minister of the dynasty, if even he can't help, then who else can help?

Li Shanchang observed Lin Xian's face, and when he saw him like this, he secretly showed a smile. (End of chapter)
